A couple of weeks ago I decided that I am SICK of seeing ANY movie worth watching in standard def. I already own a HD-20A and picked up a Samsung BR player.
Without getting into firmwares, this or that excuse... it is pretty simple for me.
I really can't see how studio's can support a technology such as Blu Ray that has NO SET (read manditory before release or otherwise) standards.
The Blu camp has to worry about the possible (and most likely definite) alienation of their early adopters because of 1.x, 2.x. x.x profiles that may not work with their current equipment.
My experiance with (2) different Blu Ray players that I purchased, along with a handful of others I have laid hands on.. WOW... BUGGY JUNK !!!!!!
No, not a fanboy like Michael Bay or any others.. (based mostly on studio backing for fan-izim)
Spoiled... yes I am. I purchased a brand new Toshiba set 8 months ago and had ZERO PROBLEMS with ANY TITLES until Shrek 3. At that point, I downloaded the current firmware at that time (2.7) and well.. back to the SAME FLAWLESS EXPERIANCE.
All I expect is what my customers expect... it should JUST WORK... especially for the amount of money that the Blu camp is asking for.
Yeah... I realize this post can fuel a ton of Blu vs. Red debates.. however I think I avoid that by asking for a product that simply works and works well. Hell they all output the same HD signal for the most part... why can't we have one that couples the BEST of both ?
Till then... I love the Red camp, however I am going to purchase a Dual Format player here in the next 2 months because I JUST CAN'T TOLERATE STANDARD DEF !
During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data.
