Well there is one thing I found out recently that sort of burst my bubble / rained on my parade in regards to blu-ray:
I started browsing the avs forums and noticed a lot of threads where people would post the disc info for the latest blu-rays and they always said 23.976 frames per second. I never did quite get a full answer from anyone as to why this is the case, but after thinking about it for a while on my own I concluded that since some older hdtv's only went at 23.976/29.97/59.94 and not the whole number framerates then the signal would need to correspond. I guess you could call this "how I learned to stop worrying and love NTSC." It's one less advantage that HD has over analog, but it's not exactly a deal-breaker. Blu-ray does support 24.000p, which is nice to know.
I dunno, I guess the day they figure out how to get 2K cinema in your room is the day movie theaters die.
