Picked it up today and had a lot of fun rewiring my TV and receiver for it. My TV only supports 1 HD video source, component only at that(I'm an early HD adopter, HDMI didn't exist back then). Luckily my receiver supports switching between 2 component video sources. I'm currently reprogramming my Pronto Pro remote so it knows to use the receiver for part of the video source selection. My folks are coming for a visit later this week and they can't use the TV without the Pronto Pro.

I'm quite impressed that Ratchet & Clank is scaling up to 1080i, even though the game only supports 720p. My set doesn't support 720p, so I was expecting to only get 480p. The graphics are phenomenal.

Blu-Ray movies sure look sweet!

Congrats man and yes everything is sweet. Felt the same as you did. I hope they improve on basically three things:

- adding achievements
- letting me download a demo of the game before I buy it from the store. (you can get burned)
- more games!

Blu-ray as any HD movie is, really kicks ass.

I've read something somewhere about downloading game demos, just like you can with the PSP. Haven't set up my network account yet, have to look up the info from when I set up my PSP(I'm hoping I can use the same account). I do have network plugged in already and have updated to the current firmware.

Motor Storm will be the next game I try, mostly as it came with the PS3. Haven't decided what's next, but Uncharted is on the short list.

Got the Pronto Pro updated, just wish the remote was IR instead of bluetooth so I could add it to the Pronto Pro as well.
