So, you reckon this group's recent, direct & exact experience of the charging & tariffs levied for making Blu-ray discs gives them no right to comment and is totally irrelevant?!
Just so as we know, what would if that is your view?
Maybe they should just be told what's value and ignore their own experience of DVD v Blu-ray.
Jeez, I've seen some Blu-ray fanboy comments here but your one is a doozy. Well done you, you should be so proud.
Yes, how dare they advise their fans to not spent double the amount of money on a product that they felt didn't offer a significant upgrade!
Good for them. I'm tired of the amount of crap out there vs good stuff. I can probably count half a dozen moves that I really enjoy but refuse to buy on blu-ray due to the effort (or lack thereof) that they've done with the transfer.
Jeez you're kidding, right? I've seen some bitter former HD-DVD fanboy comments, but yours is a doozy. Well done.
You have absolutely no idea what the bands knowledge and experience is with Blu-Ray, so why are you passing it off as if you do? Just becuase the band made the music that was going to end up on the disc does NOT mean they are BD experts. It sounds as if the band is more upset that they were not told until late in the game that the BD version was being released and this is their way of protesting.
Anyway, the band is no more qualified to tell anyone what the value of the BD is than you or any other message poster on an HD internet forum. That decision is ENTIRELY up to the consumer. Unfortunately, the band has forced their opinion on the rest of the world. It's unfortunate, because I'm a fan of the band and probably would have picked this one up.
Actually the band are probably amongst the best placed to rate the value of the Blu-ray v DVD.
Not only do they have full knowledge of the audio & visual sources (you know, that slightly important element every one of you 'PS3 bit-rate meter' obsessed watchers ignore almost entirely) but they are fully aware of the cost structures involved.

I love that an average-at-best rock band is taking on the role of media format analyst.
In other news, Madonna will begin performing audits for the IRS.
