Ok, now I'm wasting time going to Engadget and seeing the same stories I'm getting here. Just because you have the clout to assimilate, doesn't mean you have to be redundant too. Heck I'm not even getting a different slant on the same story here.

HDBeat was a 9 on my 10 scale as far as getting unique HD news from enthusiasts, now it's definatly a 7 and dropping.

I would prefer to see Engaget divide their subjects from a primary web page. For example:
http://www.cdrinfo.com/
http://8dimensional.com/
among others.

And, although it would be sad, they could easily just do away with what used to be HDBeat and assimilate the primary contributors' efforts. Maybe have a HD-only section on their main site or a link from a closely related main page news story to an HD-only sub-section. Yes, the HD news casts are unique and I'll keep following the primary contributors of HDBeat, but the way Engadget is cross selling their news stories is wasting millions of seconds of people's time.

I will be back here for sure, after all it's still a 7 :).
