It almost seems to me that while at the moment this is a format war - supposedly - in the not so very distant future, say a few months, HD will be entrenched enough that BD will seem like yet another new format to the consumer. It is is vital...IMHO...for Sony to maintain the fiction that BD is a currently viable product (it is not)...otherwise they will seem like yet again...that they are late for the party and nobody will really care anymore.
As for Bill and Ron et al...I have disagreed with some things they say, however, without knowing how many hits he gets a month on his site or visitors on this one, it is a certaintly that a significant number of consumers are coming accross his site when they are researching what, if any, HD format to buy. Between his site and this one...as well as many editorials coming from major publications (yesterday was Cinescape) that are dissing BD, it is clear that BD is in serious trouble.
I havent had this much fun since DIVX...and no one would suggest that the internet did not have a significant impact on the demise of that experiment...and the longer this goes on..the more likely it becomes that BD will be just that, as a consumer electronics item...an expereiment.
I'm just waiting for some moola..and then i'm off to get my HD DVD player..of course, if the rumored Star Trek becomes a reality, well...what are credit cards for eh?
