hey, that's my office building in the background of picture 11! I'm so close to a ps3 slim....yet so far.

question: can you guys do a heat comparison? stick phat and slim in small spaces and find out how similar they are.

@squiggleslash:

"The only sales thus far of BD titles that have been really impressive have been for those that do well with the PS3 demographic, which isn't really Criterion's."

I take issue with your premise. The blu-ray catalog is not that impressive to date, at least from the point of view of the Criterion demographic. I can count on one hand the number of worthwhile titles (and I've ponied up for them, getting "The Godfather Trilogy", "Oldboy", "Kill Bill 1 & 2", among others). I don't think you can back up that statement until it's been tested. I'm much more apt to rent "Wall-E" or "Dark Knight" than add them to a permanent collection. Give me some ownership-worthy titles, and I will own them.

@Bozster

Criterion movies are already remastered in hi-def (from criterionco.com FAQ: "we know how good our films can look in high definition because we’ve been doing all our mastering and restoration in HD for years"). Please have your facts straight before criticizing another poster.

I'm a PS3 and blu-ray fan and have pre-ordered all of Criterion's offerings. Makes me pisssy to read these lame generalizations.
