HDTV and the world of tomorrow

I was at Braehead Shopping Centre this afternoon, buying a mobile phone among other things. I won't bother going into the ridiculous carry-on I had to go through just to get the damn thing (why can't you just say "I want this phone" and hand over the money?), because the really interesting part of the trip was seeing a plasma display showing high definition footage. In the past, many people online, who have problem never seen HD, have made idiotic claims about there being little to no difference between high definition and standard definition (my favourite being some fool's claim that a good quality PAL source looks "just as good"). Having now seen HD for myself, I can state that these people are talking out of their anuses. The difference between SD and HD is night and day. Literally. Once you've seen HD, there's no going back. The crispness, the smoothness, the god-damn detail, is just phenomenal. BluRay can't come quickly enough.
