So I'm interested, how do most of the casual shopper conversations go as far as flat panels? Do people pretty much come in with their mind made up, or are they truly at the mercy of what salesman pushes them to what type of panel? Also, what do the young customers say as far as LCDs are concerned? I'm surprised, given plasma is cheaper than LCD for the same size. You'd think they're the ones looking for a bargain, unless they're strickly interested in a sub 42" screen.
Hey Sony, how bout you cut the bull, put BD-Live on ice at least until I care to watch all your product-pushing preview mumbo jumbo, and cut the cost of a BD by $10? Saves you a bunch of development cost and web portal integration (that most of us don't give a rip about), and helps the consumer afford more discs.
Here's a poll: How many of you fellow EHD readers actually participate in these spineless marketing gimmicks where you rush out to buy a new release, full (over?) priced BD, just so you can watch preview video or obtain discount tickets on a sequel? O yeah, especially if that content is already available on the movie's website, which most would probably prefer accessing from a computer...IF they cared to.
I swear, BD-Live is as bad as forced commercials/previews before you get to the disc's main menu.
Who the HE-double hockey sticks is voting for LCD in this poll? I mean, no way in HE-double hockey sticks is LCD going to look better than OLED, much less plasma...so what gives?
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
