Submerged in boiling

Submerged in boiling flesh

True can get the same Movies on HD thru should I buy an expensive player?? I mean how loud or how clear does it need to be??? No wonder everyone is Remember when the key studios dropped HD-DVD and told us that the problem was that we needed them to make the decision for us? Apparently that wasnt really the reason that we werent buying. So what will they come up with now? What other decision do they want to tell us we made for them? Buying BR is like submerged in boiling flesh at a moving target. Why buy when they keep changing standards? Whenever they actually figure out what BR is standards, maybe Ill buy that. Its not moving because the layperson doesnt care. They just DONT. DVD is very good quality and most of the mainstream market doesnt see the value for the investment. Honestly, I think that consumers might actually want to buy a BluRay player if they got a decent demonstration on one playing on a high end system compared to a DVD. I havent seen any decent demos outside higher end video shop like a Tweeter, though. BluRay Demo stations submerged in boiling flesh the ones they have at Target are NOT helping their cause. Theyre showing BluRay disks on a cheap 32 720p LCD with crummy built-in stereo speakers! I dont think that a setup like that could do most DVDs justice, let alone a BluRay movie. The demo that I saw at Best Buy wasnt much I could hardly tell the difference between the two on the mediocre 42 Phillips LCD TVs they were using. How are consumers supposed to be impressed with a lousy demo like that? To truly enjoy BluRay you need to have a 1080p display that is also very large so that the resolution can be seen. The audio needs to be decoded and played through a very good receiver and played on a 1 speaker setup with a powerful subwoofer. So, the customer should not only anticipate 400 for the player and nearly double the media price, but also an extra 4000 in equipment to allow the BD to shine. Face it. BluRay can turn make an excellent theater experience in the home. But that costs a bloody fortune. DVD can deliver a good enough presentation. And it appears that for once the American public has figured it out. With many of the biggest movie titles still unavailable on BD. For example, where is the LOTR and Matrix trilogy on BD?!? And what about all the HD-DVD releases that they still havent gotten out on blu-ray yet, despite not even having to remaster them?! Star Wars on BD would be an instant win. Think about it. When has Sony ever launched a successful proprietary technology? Beta Max, failed. Super audio disk/minidisk, failed. The PSP was the most overhyped bust in recent history. Now Blu-Ray, well have to see how that works out. Toshiba had a better product in HD-DVD that would of seen far better market saturation, and you guys know it. The format was finalized already, unlike Blu-Ray which is constantly in flux because Sony is so freaked out over potential pirating. The hardware and disks had a GREAT price point for the consumer. You werent being forced into buying a game system to enjoy the format either. Toshiba hit a home run. They were foiled because the consumer was never given a chance. Sony simply threw more money at major motion picture studios and that was that. It doesnt mean its a better product. I say product, not technology. Technically Blu-Ray is a better technology. Consumers dont care about technology, they care about PRODUCTS. They are buying products, not technology. I was fully prepared to invest in HD DVD until the fight went south for them. Now Im just going to wait until Blu-Ray fails and a better format comes along thats not driven by a company who rather secretly install rootkits on everyones computers and takes every opportunity to screw the consumer. Plus they have NEVER proven EVER that they could successfully launch a format. Sony, you make great technology. Your problem is your ANTI-CONSUMER. Its the price and thats it, theres nothing else really stopping bluray from succeeding except the price and cost.
