Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Scott makes the first gaffe by assuming that Universal will deliver Blu-ray movies on Jan 1st of 2008 (which is possible) yet remains conspicuously silent about the same prospect happening with Fox/Disney/LGF. No studios has stated they are exclusive forever. They will go where the money goes.
Janus makes the same poorly constructed argument. That somehow studio support is etched in stone and Americans will indeed look for Disney but that's not the biggest factor right now. It's getting millions of players into peoples homes. Sony is doing this with the PS3 and Toshiba is doing it with a low cost assault on the home this year. Disney's Robert Iger has already stated that he thought Disney would eventually support both and I think he still feels this way.
Best Buy anecdotal evidence is weak. I've heard HD DVD fans with their own BB stories about sales.
Engadget HD is right on this one. There is simply no winner in sight and we can all huff and puff about what we think is going to happen but clearly the war isn't going to end anytime soon.
