I totally agree, and like I said I don't even have the XA2, just the A2.
I actually have a note book and I take notes of every movie I watch, BD, HD DVD, or SDVD. I have been paying particular attention to Standard Definition DVDs and noting the PQ. Some are incredible, and a couple of times I actually forgot I was watching standard definition. If you have a copy of Walk in the Clouds, throw that in and check it out sometime. There are scenes that look 3D, and at the end when the vineyard is burning it looks stunning... and this is a standard definition disc! Of course there are other discs that don't look that good, but I have also seen BD and HD DVDs that look worse that others too.
I am also a big Cary Grant fan. Try putting in an old black and white flick that has a good transfer sometime and watch it upconverted.
I hope the prices keep dropping. Next year I will probably buy an XA2 or the next gen version and move my A2 to the bedroom.
