Re: Sony Blu ray
Let me point out that all the Blu-Ray I have seen has either
been sourced from the new Pioneer Elite or Sony players. None
of it from the Samsung player.
I have been watching a lot of Blu-Ray material being pumped
through flagship 3-chip front projectors (such as the Sim2 and
Sony VW50) onto large screens. Most of it has been animation
that looks quite stunning. For me, the format looks as impressive
as HD-DVD.
But Adam is correct that there are some booths showing less
than optimum Blu-Ray presentations. I wasn't impressed with
the few minutes of demo material (Behind Enemy Lines) that
Panasonic was showing off at their booth. I am going back to
Panasonic later today to take another look.
Adam's assesment of the HD-DVD of Tokyo Drift is spot on!
This is the new flagship DVD as far as image quality and (especially)
interactivity. I have not been able to see anyone from the Blu-Ray
camp show me a DVD that has the sort of state-of-the-art interactivity
that has been thrown onto Tokyo Drift and promised for upcoming
HD-DVD titles. On the interactivitry end, HD-DVD is making huge leaps!
Also, if this has not been reported already, the second generation
Toshiba HD-DVD player with 1080p output will be selling for $1K.
