| madskillz said: Yeah, I hear you but you can't even compare the Wii to this. For one, the Wii is cheaper than the PS3, and it offers a new way to play games - and it has a lot of games geared to casual gamers - the PS3, not so much. And regardless, I am old enough to remember VHS/Beta Max fight. When I bought HD DVD, I was already prepared for it to win or not. Once it's gone, guess what - I can still play my movies and have a blast. And while Web content isn't necessary, it's sure nice to have the option vs. the millions of BR owners who didn't have a choice. Basically, all the consumers are really, really getting is a sharper picture and slightly better sound. That's it. It's not innovative one bit. It's just an upconverted film. As I stated, I will keep supporting HD DVD until it's completely gone. I would much rather go back to DVD and return to Blu Ray when they start offering more than just a sharper image and better sound. Give me value with my HD movies - but that'll never really happen, will it? Dang ... some BR players can't even play movies like 3:10 to Yuma, even with a firmware upgrade? ROTFL ... that's crazy. Nice win for a format that's still trying to find its way ... |
You should really try to find a job at the Daily News or New York Times because your cynicism and bitterness towards Blu-ray would be pure journalistic gold; especially with a post that contains:
" Basically, all the consumers are really, really getting is a sharper picture and slightly better sound. That's it. It's not innovative one bit. It's just an upconverted film."
