The next Batman flick could be all-IMAX

No, 2.4:1 all the way for me

Frankfurt Rumormill: Electric R8 concept joining Audi R8 Spyder

May 27th 2009 4:39PM on Autoblog

An electric sports car is a no starter for me. You have to have acceleration, looks, handling and the beautiful sound of a lusty motor.

Best Buy prepping an entry into the digital distribution game

I care about quality, so no not interested.

VUDU readying Blu-ray quality rentals

Sep 10th 2008 1:54PM on Engadget HD

It might be Blu-ray quality video (i doubt it) but is it Blu-ray quality audio? I think it is Dolby Digital. so it isnt.

For $18.00 a month I can watch all the Blu-ray and standard DVD discs I want from Netflix. I guess i'm old but the 2 day turn around doesnt bother me. I can make up my mind a couple of days in advance. way cheaper than the per movie price from VUDU.

DirecTV to boast 130 HD channels on August 14th, 1080p movies later this year

Slam me all you want but my reference is Blu-ray. there are exceptions but most OTA and DirecTV HD is over compressed, creating a soft picture. the larger the screen the more this becomes an issue.

I have DirecTV and the so called HD is painful to watch. It is so over compressed, it's a joke. So now we will have 30 more over compressed channels.

just because it is 720p, 1080i or 1080p doesn't mean it's HD.

So what, I have DirecTV and most of what I watch is over compressed junk. so now we will have 30 more over compressed junk channels.

Second-generation Pioneer KURO unveiled: 5x deeper black levels

May 13th 2008 4:00PM on Engadget HD

Bob,

Pioneer is not getting out of the plasma business. yes some other company will make the plasma glass but to pioneers specification.
it's no different than when you buy a Sony LCD. that panel was probably manufactured by Samsung and soon by Sharp.

Apple iTunes to compete "day-and-date" with DVD releases -- Wal-Mart weeps (now official)

May 1st 2008 1:37PM on Engadget HD

I'm tired of this. Why would you spend $15.00 for a digital file that will only play in your house or on your iPod?

Blu-ray is the absolute best in picture and audio quality. I feel like Apple and the media are doing everything in their power to undermine this. And fortunately I don’t think it is working.

Blu-ray player sales sink as 2008 begins... except for Sony's PlayStation 3

May 1st 2008 11:10AM on Engadget HD

Prices won’t come down until players are available. Why lower the price if you can’t keep them in stock. Do you see boxes of unsold Blu-ray players?
Toshiba lost money on every player they sold. Blu-ray isn’t going to follow that business model.

On a side note, I watched Nancy Drew last night in standard DVD. It looked like crap compared to Blu-ray. So the DVD is ok crowd get some glasses.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
