I've cut way back on buying Blu-ray because they're already overpriced. I will wait till there $10-$15. Until then, I can rent three BR discs for three nights for $5 and get lots of BR-lovin.

One of the few voices of reason. As further evidence, French President Sarkozy had to bury an exhaustive analysis of the prospects for electric/hybrid vehicles that concluded THEY HAVE NO FUTURE. Not cost effective, the infrastructure will never be built, and the ultimate power still comes from electricity generating pollution centers (wind? solar? give me abreak). And some idiots believe GM killed the electric car.

There's at leat one HUGE problem with this: I'm sending my PS3 back for the THIRD time because of overheating. My console is completely in the open and as well ventilated and dust free as can be expected yet my original unit was sent back twice and the replacement unit is about to be shipped back. Yes, it has been a bit warm outside but surely the basic design doesn't require an air-conditioned home to coddle it into being quiet. Criterion must be hard up for attention from Purolator drivers. They won't be for long.

Wanted is the best movie of the year so far, although it will loose 25% of its potential gross simply because its title is bland and forgettable. I don't care if that was the name of the comic book, the name is awful.

"consumers are smart enough to know that it's better to wait a month"

Consumer savvy has almost zero to do with it. Most people don't know the difference bewteen codec and duradek. If they're interested, they're walking into a BestBuy and a salesman is selling them whatever technology he has on hand. People aren't buying because they aren't looking.

Just yesterday I read a report that found the EXACT OPPOSITE, that internet ads were no where near as effective as tv ads and that and that people pretty much give zero credibility to internet ads. Of course, the report i read was prepared by Google.

I'm in the same boat (playback using a PS3 and no DTS $@#$)

So do you run the audio out from your PS3 undecoded and then let your receiver do the DTS processing?

...and that China really can do no good. It's pathetic how whatever China touches turns to crap.
