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!"
"Unresponsive menu"? The menu in HD DVD is lightyears ahead of blu-ray. Slow to turn on? Well, yes, but so is the competition. These things haven't been reduced to a single chip yet, like DVD. "Low end"? Straight out of the Blu-ray fanboy talking-points memo.
ooohhh, sorry. I should watch how I phrase my comments because I forget there is this fanboy talk over electronic equipment and people get emotional about it.
I actually own both products and dont have an emotional attachment to either. I was only commenting on my HDDVD player but I can assure you it is not "lightyears" ahead. The other is a lot clearer, crisper and responsive in just my one case.
