Thanks, Cheena and Jim for helping to clarify the current status of the Premiere line. I have been slowly working on converting as much of my rather large collection from DVD and Blu-ray imports to Store downloads as my budget allows. Even if I do use all the digital offers and disc to digital options available to me I am still left with about 3000 titles not available in the Store. While I am a huge fan of the Store and the quality of the downloads available there, I cannot see giving up my Premiere system in the foreseeable future. I am glad to hear there are still some upgrade paths available to me as I have been waiting to upgrade my long out of warranty 1U and 3U servers to 1U+ servers ever since Rusty identified some incipient issues with one of my servers last year. I will soon be ready to take that step.
I do love my Encore based system and will continue to build and expand that part of my Kaleidescape system. Although I don't buy nearly as many shiny discs as I used to, I am not ready to give them up just yet, and the Premiere part of my system is still invaluable to me.
Hope CEDIA is a smash success next week and can't wait to hear any exciting announcements that may be forthcoming.
