Review: Ok, I'm the the type who likes all the newest technology, but what I don't understand is why do these companies have to price everything out of the "normal" price range of the average buyer. Most people cannot spend thousands of dollars on a machine just to watch movies. I'm all for new technology, but lets make it affordable.

Review: This is getting ridiculous. Everything now is for the manufacturers getting the almighty buck and not really for the benefit of humanity or the planet. Shame on everyone who buys into this garbage.

Review: Way back machine to BETA and VHS. Why two formats? It didn't work then. It won't work now. Consumers get to vote with their money. I vote not to buy until there is one standard for these new HD-DVDs. I refuse to purchase two players so I can watch all HD movies. Hollywood, get your act together.

Review: Some years ago I got my first DVD player; I replaced it last year for a newer, slimmer and fancier one. For as much as watching movies it fulfills my needs. It has very good picture quality and 5.1 surround. And, most important, I spent less than $100. Who needs to spend more money on superfluous stuff?

Review: The author should consider the following information before recommending 1080p HDTVs as the only set to buy. Please read the following article still very current after last year. 1080P? Time for a Reality Check! July 1, 2005 http://www.hdtvexpert.com/pages_b/reality.html I have verified the information myself and will stick with my 720p for while longer. John

Review: Sony cannot be trusted. Their proprietary nature is further alienating them from an era where "openess" is more revered. People don't like dictatorships with things that center on their personal time and interests. Blu-Ray can hold more data....Gee, that means I can get 20 behind-the-scenes featurettes instead of 10. Blu-Ray has more titles.... Didn't Betamax also? Let the market decide. Blu-Ray is more expensive to produce, maintain, and buy so it must be better... Again, praise be to Sony for its typical deception to lock you in to its web of "we know what you want" proprietary B.S... Given the scratch issues that Blu-Ray has, are Sony and all of the studios going to have some sort of return policy and RMA process for retailers to handle the consumer backlash? Discs make great coasters. In terms of PS3, gamers aren't going to like the scratching element either. Also, while I think about it, isn't the BD drive shipping with the PS3 going to be like 1X speed? Great.

Review: Let me make this as short as possible. Blu-Ray. Why? Content. Blu-Ray has several times the content basically because it's secure and it's better. Blu-ray has been out for a week and it has half as many movies as HD-DVD has gotten in 4 months. Sure more movies come out around launch. Rootkit? People must be idiots. Companies have a right to protect their own content. Blu-Ray cannot be scratched.
