It is the crappy codecs there using for blue ray.

Movies should look great at 1080i on your tv.

Also for movies there really is no difference between 1080i and 1080p.

guaranteed sonys pitch to companies is BD holds more data then HD so its better and has more room for useless low quality deleted scenes and bonus features

I receieved my ps3 yesterday and i think some of the blueray movies look just as good as the trailers, i mean it really depends on the transfer.

Just because they both can use the same codecs doesn't mean they do, and the codec has a lot to do with quality. You are right about some companies doing a shit job but it is that coupled with some blu ray movies using mpeg and you have a shitty movie.

Also most movie theatres use film which is analogue and there fore has an infinite resolution. That is why a company can take a film and do a 1080p transfer from it. Some tranfers suffer from the film being grainy and then don't remove it when they do the transfer.

It would help a lot if companies would all use the best technique, one reason might be that particular movie just didn't have the budjet. Anyway just my 2 cents.
