I have no problem with people enjoying their PS3s, why would I it's not exactly any of my business and it's a relatively free world here in the west.
I do have a problem with fanboy cretins who act like it is perfection itself and who insist on trying to evangelise to the rest of us who are not interested in a game console as our movie player. Even more laughable are those who imagine that just cos I have no interest in the PS3 that I have for the XBox 360. Too funny.
.....and as far as your 'wrong' comment goes? Couple of things.
1) just before CES every senior guy on the HD DVD side went off on their planes 'knowing' Warner had signed for HD DVD. That was the inside info - and the Ken Graffeo interview proved it. 2) It was so close to going the other way.
You just happened to be in 'love' with the CE corp that won out in the end. You did nothing. You could so easily have bet wrong (and came within a whisker of doing so).
3) It is far from decided yet whether Blu-ray has or has not also lost with HD DVD.
The win in the little squabble with HD DVD has not guaranteed Blu-ray will go on to take over from SD DVD at all.
The high def market is heavily fractured as it is (and this can only get ever more so) and there is no indication whatsoever that the general public have any appetite for paying the laughable prices the Blu-ray side expect to charge for their sub-spec clunky cr@p.
I've seen it said umteen times (just as it was with HD DVD) 'wake me up when the (full spec = profile 2.0) players are $100.
How many years do you expect that to take, hmmmmmm?
By then it will be too late. Too little too late.
Blu-ray = PS3 proprietary niche format and very very little else besides.
Get over it. The Blu-ray win was the worst thing possible for the uptake of HDM on disc.
You too bought into a format going nowhere (it's just taking a little longer for you lot to realise it).
“That iconic Klipsch sound is here in full force, with crisp highs, delicate mids (which can easily have a bit more meat added with an EQ tweak) and tight, booming bass.”
