I'll give you a hard reason why you will never be able to stream blu-ray to an xbox 360- your network aint gonna handle blu-ray's bandwidth!

Doug:you could try and see if the store you are buying the TV from will give the extended warranty price back as in store credit at the end of the warranty if it has not been used. i did this when i bought a previous TV and 3 years later got a $250 rebate with purchase of $400 or more in store coupon in the mail. its worth a try.

@ Colin Robertson - The max bitrate of Blu-ray is 36Mbps, which is far lower than the 100Mbps of the 'Fast Ethernet' connection that the Xbox 360 has. So the network is not going to be an issue.Wireless is another story as although it supports 54Mbps, actual throughput is usually much lower, so that would be an issue.The main problem is as stated in the article - MS don't want to be seen as creating a device which promotes what Hollywood view as piracy. Hollywood unfortunately view streaming from your own purchased blu-ray discs as stealing - argh!Hence why even though the 360 already supports H.264 streaming in 1080p, it's limited to <10Mbps and only 2 channel AAC sound in an MPEG4 container.

Good response, Corey! You beat me to it. One small correction, though: 36Mbps is the max bitrate when spinning the disc at 1x, but all players and computer drives playing video actually spin at 1.5x, so the max raw bitrate is actually 54Mbps, of which 48Mbps is available for audio, video, and subtitles. I got this directly from the Blu-ray Disc Association, so I have high confidence in its accuracy. This is still well within 100Mbps, which is a common Ethernet speed these days, to say nothing of gigabit Ethernet. I agree that WiFi is not practical in this application, even if it was permitted. I did not know that the Xbox 360 is limited to <10Mbps and 2-channel sound, but I can't say I'm surprised given Hollywood's paranoia.

OK so just want to say something about the ext warranty. I am a sales person. My opinion is have you seen the cost of repairs on these new flat panel tv's. $4000 to fix a $1800 tv. I would rather just spend $120 to maybe $400 depending on the cost of the tv. Instead of later on having to throw away your tv or spend and insane amount to fix. If you think extended warranties are bad then you should think car insurance is bad. Its the same thing.

I used to work at Futureshop(owned by Best Buy) and bought a Toshiba 57HDX81 with a $400 5 yr extended warranty, and am i ever glad i did! About 3 yrs after the fact the TV turned a weird color and i called them in. they wanted me to send or drive the tv 160 miles round trip to Vancouver for repair. The warranty was an In home service so i pressed them and they sent the guy to fix my tv, 1 week later id saved myself $1800. They replaced a tube, CRT RPTV, and no piano movers to transport it! I always buy extended warranties now!

My question is that I have an older denon Av reciever 7.1 but I do not have a HDMI hook up I want to purchase a blue ray player I just bought an HD TV 1080 p. but not sure if I need to purchase a certain kind of blue ray player, also what is the best way to hook the receiver+blue ray player to the TV.thanks for your HelpIn KindVal SammutToronto, Canada.
