It is by no means childish, I am merely stating fact that there are far better places to get ones news about Blu-ray, HD-DVD and HDM in general, than Blu-ray.com. It has nothing to do with the news of the BenQ BR-Rom, just where you are point people to go for this news!
Like I said, it is a cesspool of Blu-ray FUD. A place for Blu-ray zealots to continue living in their blue tinted fantasy world. It is heavily biased in favor of Blu-ray, not a good source for news.
If you do want to talk about childishness, you have to look no further than Blu-ray.com. A group has created a "Hit List" that is intended to call out any one that supports HD-DVD, even if they are format neutral, ranking them in tiers. This includes screen names and where they post. Pretty childish and pathetic if you ask me.
I have no problem with Blu-ray as a format, I hate the format war, but I have long since decided I would be going format neutral. Knowing that it would be the only way to get my movies in HD.
Zargon: ...it's out of context, that's the point i'm trying to make. I'm talking about players, not politics, sales stats, etc. Blu-ray.com is doing some fast coverage of IFA for blu-ray (who would've thought?).
If I were to say "HD-DVD sucks, blu-ray has all the truth" now THAT would be childish and out of context. Somehow, the phrase blu-ray.com is a trigger phrase that sets off a seizure for you, and I must tell you, you need to deal with that on your own.
When an HD-DVD player is talked about on here, and you were to point out "there are 4 more that are showing up on hd-dvd.com" I would have no response for that, it's clearly in context towards players of HD-DVD formats, no politics.
So once again, blu-ray.com is doing coverage on other players showing up at IFA that declare more news than this sony player... nothing else, no rants, no raves, just another source of other players soon to hit the market.

zargon; I can't find this hit list you speak of that you say is on blu-ray.com. What do they call it?
