I had the first box for several years, got the XD when it came out, wanted the 1080 resolution, but it didn't work worth a crap, sent it back. Got the 3 not long ago, and it works great, and picks up the captioning Netflix has on most stuff now - like that for Brit movies with such strong accents I can't understand half of what they say, and occasionally other stuf. Got an Onkyo receiver to replace my old Yamaha last month, and that made a big difference on both sound & video - has pass through HDMI, Yamaha didn't. Amazing difference in sound and video resolution over what was available even 10 years ago, 'cept mebbe for the high end stuff i couldn't afford. This Onkyo was only half the price of the Yamaha 7 or 8 years ago, too. Still seems a treat to watch a movie with this setup, the old 53" Pioneer still has an amazing picture. If/when it dies, plan on getting a 72", hopefully by then the new glassless 3D tv's will be affordable - and work. For no more than I watch it, kinda expensive, like getting used Harleys instead of Hondas. Figure at my age, enjoy it all while I can; when I buy something now, it's with the thought that it may be the last time I buy whatever it is. Some interesting tech coming down the road that I'm sure I'll never have.
