Yet despite the relatively passive tone of my contributions, I'm attacked immaturely by individuals such as DMeisterJ while the majority of my points and arguments are ignored in favor of adressing things I was never directly adressing or talking about. |
Let me ask you this. Did you feel this way about S-VHS? If not, why do you now? It's exactly the same thing.
You keep saying "format change". The only thing that has to change to take advantage of BD, is a more expensive player. The player will still play all your DVD's.
To me, a format change that one would care about, is one where you have to update all your media to take advantage. This is not the case.
I think where people take issue, is this is a seamless upgrade in quality that is very easy to take advantage of, yet you still fight it. If you don't want to be on the leading edge of technology, keep buying DVD's for the next 5 years, and get a BD player when they cost $75. You can't use the argument that you need to upgrade your disks, because you say it's too little to late anyway.
I find it hard to see why BD or HD-DVD is a bad thing (BD happened to win, but it would be the same if HD-DVD did), just like I found it hard to think S-VHS was a bad thing.
