Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
You think maybe there's a DMCA issue with what you suggest? Pretty sure the MPAA would take issue with such a thing.
Why is this on EngadgetHD anyways? I mean we all know now that Toshiba is going to make Blu-ray stuff so what's the purpose of this article? Not sure I get it.
It will likely continue until the BD-XA1 performs as well as the OPPO or PS3.
Blutard of the month award goes to... Steven Kim! For criticizing Toshiba for not incliuding Blu-ray support in a device announced barely days after (and designed many months prior to) applying for membership of the BDA.
Sorry Murph, you don't get it this month.
Yeah, it was a cheap shot, I know. Seriously -- being an engineer, I know this thing was drafted up probably over a year ago. I'll still take that bluetard award, though.
Steven Kim, I have to thank you for owning up to your mistake (I know you didn't call it that, but I'm sure you can see now why it wasn't such a good idea). Most bloggers disappear when the commenters start thrashing them. You're human and made a mistake. Big deal. The character of a person is shown after the mistake is made and how they handle it. Good job.
Oh, and yeah - this article sucks. I was going to comment yesterday at work, but had to leave and didn't get another chance to get back on the computer last night. I'm glad others pointed out what I had to say - there's no way they could have developed this last year or even 6 months ago and guessed they'd be doing Blu-ray someday in the future.
squiggleslash (correctly) called it a "Blutard" award. Where do you get off misspelling the product name that you guys love so much.
When you're trying to spell "Blu-ray," pretend you're in college and drop the "e."
This is by far the dumbest article I have read on this site in some time. Toshiba just announced it's intentions to release products with Blu-ray support. Steven Kim, you have just given mentally challenged people who are currently unemployed, a reason to believe.
@ Steven Kim
I did not notice your admission of guilt prior to my post. I would not have been so harsh if I had.
No problem. I guess it's karma -- my cheap shot will probably net me a few in return; besides, I wouldn't want to take away that hope from the unemployed, mentally challenged crowd.
When can I buy this in the US?
