If you would have read the whole thread, you would have seen how I was talking about that the added cgi effects in the SE scenes look even more crap in HDTV. Apart from the 2004 "colour treatment" (although it seems that it has been corrected again), the restauration effort is awesome. This is how the OOT *COULD* look.
True, except for the 'enhancements' made to the SE releases.
And as far as adapting new standards goes. Personally I'd first have to see the electronics and entertainment industry together support only ONE system. I'm not going to invest (heavily) into a system that could become the next Video2000 or Betamax (for all you youngsters: these were rival and some may say technically superior video tape systems to VHS in the late 80's and early 90's).

I'm affraid the HD format 'war' will rage on for a while. When the smoke clears and one format remains still standing on its feet, I'll concider buying into HD. Until then, DVD on SD (Standard Definition) will do ...
