help me understand this

Blu-Ray has been out for what, 1 1/2 years now? Did they not know that they would be using DTS-MA? Are they incapable of planning ahead? Why couldn't the BDA tell Fox to hold off on DTS-MA until the CEs could get their act together?

>>>However, rather than upping the processing power to what would have been worse case scenario numbers, they made some poor decisions/estimations.<<<
They appear to do that alot. I confess, I do not understand the logic, unless they just said to hell with our current customers, make them buy another player. This is the kind of thing the BDA does that really pisses me off.

>>>The market will probably see all new players released in Q3/Q4 08 with either bitstreaming, decoding or both re: DTS-HD Master Audio<<<
IOW, everyone has to buy another BD player. Bit streaming alone isn't going to cut it. I'm already on my second BD player, a fact I'm not happy about. I RESENT having to buy another one just because the BDA doesn't have their act together, and I won't do it. For most people, DTS-HD MA is useless, and those discs with it don't have lossless audio. Once again, Blu-ray seems to be showing itself as consumer unfriendly.
Am I missing something?
