This is 2007. most gear is built to get software/firmware updates - Jazz Inmate 01:24:41 10/21/07 (21)

you confuse (intentionally) the ability to upgrade with the inability of the player to play. - Duilawyer 19:44:44 10/21/07 (1)

But the player does play BDs. It's only the recent Fox titles that require the firmware update - Jazz Inmate 12:27:44 10/22/07 (0)

Some is, some is not. - Jack G 07:40:43 10/21/07 (17)

How do you know HD DVD is far more consumer friendly? - Jazz Inmate 13:03:00 10/21/07 (9)

As I have posted repeatedly, I have not had one problem with a blu-ray disc or my PS3 - Jazz Inmate 21:12:16 10/19/07 (12)

The PS3 caveat is interesting. In other words, in order to obtain a Blu-ray engine that works consistently well, ... - Audiophilander 12:39:47 10/20/07 (11)

Early adoption isn't usually driven by cost - Jazz Inmate 00:33:14 10/21/07 (3)

PS/3 simply wasn't a great choice of reference platforms for B-D - 4season 08:52:42 10/21/07 (0)

Costs are a factor to adopting any format anytime. - Audiophilander 00:59:36 10/21/07 (1)

So is value - Jazz Inmate 01:32:49 10/21/07 (0)

that doesn't make sense - Joe Murphy Jr 21:28:35 10/20/07 (6)

Not everyone wants a game console in their living room or HT - Jack G 07:47:04 10/21/07 (2)

Not particularly relevant to me, and upscaled DVD can be be very nice. - jsm 12:01:46 10/23/07 (0)

Careful - you might upset the fanboys with that kind of talk... - racerguy 18:52:53 10/19/07 (37)

Blu-Ray has so much better upside that it is worth living with the growing pains. - oscar 19:03:44 10/19/07 (36)

Buying technology today based on promises of future features/functionality is not wise - racerguy 19:37:46 10/19/07 (34)

Upside is already available. E.g. "Dave Mathews" - oscar 19:43:57 10/19/07 (33)

Do you mean "Live at RCMH?" - racerguy 19:55:02 10/19/07 (32)

I think the bandwidth limitation (in addition to storage) severely constraints HD DVD. - oscar 22:10:56 10/19/07 (6)

Oh, I agree that there is constraint relative to Blu-ray - racerguy 09:13:24 10/20/07 (5)

24/48 audio - Joe Murphy Jr 10:37:19 10/20/07 (0)

all that audio (including uncompressed) and video takes up lots of gigs - Jazz Inmate 21:23:15 10/19/07 (24)

bandwidth falls short as well - Joe Murphy Jr 10:41:31 10/20/07 (9)

Be interesting to see what Paramount does when its 18 month "deal" with HD DVD is up - Jazz Inmate 11:46:22 10/20/07 (8)

You still beleive that myth? (nt) - Jack G 13:08:26 10/20/07 (7)

That they have an 18 month contract (nt) - Jack G 07:48:58 10/21/07 (5)

and you know it's a myth how? Because some doods at AVS told you? - Jazz Inmate 10:16:54 10/21/07 (4)

not a quote, no named source - Jack G 10:40:53 10/21/07 (3)

The source is Brooks Barnes of the New York Times, who talked to two Viacom execs close to the deal NT - Jazz Inmate 11:06:37 10/21/07 (2)

you're avoiding facts and trying to be insulting, as usual NT - Jazz Inmate 12:12:34 10/20/07 (10)

Wrong again, Jazz - racerguy 12:30:14 10/20/07 (9)

It's not an opinion that blu-ray has a higher capacity. It's a fact. Learn the difference NT - Jazz Inmate 00:36:03 10/21/07 (8)

It's truly sad that the only way you can support your feeble arguments is by setting up a strawman (nt) - racerguy 11:43:05 10/21/07 (1)

My entire argument that blu-ray is the way to go is about capacity...there's no other point to set up - Jazz Inmate 12:15:31 10/21/07 (0)

But that doesn't mean a better picture - Jack G 10:28:00 10/21/07 (5)
