| nordlead said: you mean price fixing. They were putting out blu-ray players at the time that had no extra memory so they couldn't even use those features. All they had to do was say impliment everything but instead they said no cause we don't think you'll do it. At the time they didn't even allow Vizio to make blu-ray players and they make some of the best equipment but undercut the other guys buy quite a bit. Besides, they finally did allow the liscense so obviously it wasn't that big a deal, but the held out to keep prices high. You can defend them all you want, but the BDA is in no way a good group of people. They rushed their crap onto the market so they could compete with HD-DVD then put out 1.2 & 1.3 so people would have to upgrade if they bought a 1.1 player that didn't have a powerful enough processor. The only reason I bought a blu-ray player was because they killed HDDVD. |
Actually, the player I got(Magnavox :) ), cannot even be upgraded from 1.1. The manufacturor is not making an update for it. So hopefully, there are no future discs that are 1.2 or 1.3 required or I am fucked.
