I literally got HDTV the day before (I know - I've only had an HD ready TV for 7 years....I'm slow......). What an AMAZING way to break it in.
If you haven't seen it, try and find it on the web or see if someone taped it somewhere. I attended ATL's opening and closing ceremonies and even actually being there in ATL dulls in comparison to watching the China event on TV. Just incredible.
