Unfortunately, this is one that the great Greek Philosophers couldn't get around to In all seriousness, there isn't a simple answer for this. The issue has probably sparked the most discussion of any in this thread. The more I read about it the more confused I seem to be. I'm going to guess that you should set it to bitstream until you are...

Online retailers do as well but I think places like Best Buy may have the best deals. It's best to go there.

Playing a few BR discs showed the quality to better than anything I have...

This would be sure proof of what you are saying. I don't think they have had any reported problems though.
