RE: "B-D discs are easier to damage physically"--you've done stress tests?

Posted by Larry I on August 21, 2007 at 13:07:47:
The relative sensitivity to damage is what magazines, like Widescreen Review, reported among the pluses and minuses of each format. Personally, I don't abuse my discs, so it is not a big deal to me either way. I don't care at all which standard survives, but, it seems important for the market for one to succeed. As I stated above, I would be willing to get a universal machine if both formats are going to be around for a while, provided such machine is high quality and supports all functions (current machines don't meet either criteria).

I am not happy with Sony because of its half-assed support of certain new formats/product lines it has produced in recent times. This is particularly frustrating because the company, until recently, set high standards for product support, quality, etc.
