I know 1080p has been getting beat up on the net recently, but no matter how you look at it now, 1080p is coming, it isnt quite "real" now, but its coming. And I would rather buy this $1000 dollar player now and have the comfort that I am somewhat futureproof. But we all know that early adopters get worked. I am about to get worked over because I bought a launch Xbox 360 console and now Microsoft/IBM is upgrading the chip, and this relates to how early adopters bought HDTVS that might not be compatible with HDCP.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[IseWise]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 21st 2006 10:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player available for pre-order (again)]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA[IseWise you don't really have to worry about the xbox 360 thing its COMPLETELY STANDARD. No this revision will not effect the performance at all towards gameplay, it is simply a hardware enhancement which Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft have all done repeadetly over the course of the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube's life span.<br><br>For more info read the comments from the Digg story<br><br><a href="http://www.digg.com/gaming/Microsoft_to_upgrade_Xbox_360_CPU">http://www.digg.com/gaming/Microsoft_to_upgrade_Xbox_360_CPU</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2006 12:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player available for pre-order (again)]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA[$1000 and it won't play CD and SACD?

I went to best buy this week and watched portions of serenity on hd dvd.  It looked amazing.  To me both machines offer the exact same thing.  1080i(my tv's resolution)<br>and the new audio codecs.  But I can buy into hd dvd for alot less.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bwallen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2006 11:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player available for pre-order (again)]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA[No porn...

However, I'm not moving a pen in the checkbook until we get BD record ability and a hardrive combo that lets me record stuff, then decide if I want to archive the stuff I am allowed to burn to disk.  That means I don't intend to be illegal about it, but if I have a HD level disc based player I need to be able to record stuff not just playback.<br><br>Oh well, guess I wait for the 2nd gen stuff.  Clearly this is a very first pass level product and not really ready for the masses.  My cable HD box with recording for timeshifting is serving quite well and certainly there is more to watch on it then either HDDVD or BR.<br><br>$.02<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2006 11:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player available for pre-order (again)]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA[#4: You still haven't seen 1080p on display.  Although the HD-DVD movies are encoded at 1080p, the players only put out at 1080i.  But for the record, if you have a 1080p screen, it will not look any different with a 1080i input that it would with a native 1080p input.  The resolution is all that matters, not the order that the lines get there.  It's going to arrange them in the proper order, so it all looks the same.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2006 1:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player available for pre-order (again)]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA[#7 - Actually thats incorrect, theres all kinds of processing that has to be applied to an interlaced signal that doesn't need to be done for progressive.<br><br>I don't really understand Blu-Rays marketing angle, they are coming out 9-12 months later than HD DVD, releasing the films first (stupid) and are insisting on regional encoding, all at double the price ????<br><br>Add to this that Sony is stating that the PS3 can handle better music formats, have twin HDMI's (Run two monitors) and is a blu-ray player at half the cost of (and 1/8th the size of) this unit.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben Hobbs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 24th 2006 10:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player available for pre-order (again)]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA["I don't really understand Blu-Rays marketing angle, they are coming out 9-12 months later than HD DVD, releasing the films first (stupid) and are insisting on regional encoding, all at double the price ????"<br><br>1) They're coming out 2 months later, I don't know where you pulled 9-12 out of your ass.<br>2) Almost everybody but SPHE is matching titles to launch.<br>3) The studios (including those supporting HD DVD) are calling for Regions.  They'll update AACS for both formats to include it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zombieflanders]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 26th 2006 9:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player available for pre-order (again)]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA[Both of these formats are going to fail.  HVD is by far a better system, And should release end of 06 to early 07.  Although at the beginning will be very expensive the price will plummit due to the ease of manufacturing.  If I were you I wouldnt buy either of these unless it is in the format of Xbox 360 or PS3.  Oh yeah and the flash memory cards coming out this Christmas will hold the same amount of data as the BD.  You can check InPhase and Optware's website to verify.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 26th 2006 7:07PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
