In Reply to: yes, the firmware is already available which means the OP is either purposefully lying or spreading false info posted by Jazz Inmate on October 16, 2007 at 21:30:07:
>>> "Early adoption involves things like delayed or cancelled titles, firmware updates and format "wars". It's all normal and if people can't deal with it, they aren't cut out to be early adopters." <<<
Assuming everything ruxtonvet has said is accurate, here is my take:
Format wars, yes! ...Delayed or cancelled titles, yes! ...Slow performance or limitations in programming functions, yes! ...High priced, clunky looking gear, yes! ...But failure to provide full support to units only a few months old and still under warranty when problems arise with newer discs, NO.
I'm sure glad that my HD-DVD player has yet to be plagued with these "early adopter" glitches and the ensuing wrath of disgruntled customers.
BTW, I'm still hoping that Blu-ray does well in spite of these frequently reported incidents since I'd eventually purchase a multi-format player. As I've stated several times before, I have no dog in this hunt, but performance at a fair price is a reasonable expectation, and NOT just for folks who sit on the fence!
In light of all this rancor, I just hope that studio exclusivity deals that limit release of some titles to one format or the other don't put a crimp in the availability of some highly desired titles; talk about niche-city!
