I will ask around about this.

Why a laptop:
-Blu-Ray
-Ripped Blu-rays
-DVDs
-DVD copies
-Music database and movie database
-Games
-Will be using at work
-My computer related hobbies
-Internet
-Extreme multipurpose
From what I have read about the surround goggles they are in the majority low res and meh in quality/worth. A lappy screen (a good one) will work ok. I also need to see my surroundings.

As one who owns a HD-DVD player: I prefer HD.
In regards to the audio... DVD uses medium bitrate lossy. The improvement is noticable, i think, over that.

DVD players are capable of amazing feats, and are indeed extremely difficult to distinguish from their blu-ray counterparts |
