yeah there's "HD" options in DVD player. Afaik it's for playing back HD content you've authored yourself, rather than bought movies. But I could be wrong.

For me blueray/HD disk support is the one missing part of the apple multimedia setup. They seem to think people will prefer to download HD rentals with AppleTV. That might work in the US, but here a 720p movie is ~1/2 of the average person's monthly download, it's a joke. Because they are so out of whack on this, I'm thinking the best option for HD movies on the mac is to put a blue ray drive into the hackintosh and rip the disks to watch them.
