1. Comment - Sony's new Blu-ray players feature-packed, but still high priced

   It is such a drag to listen to all these BR fans, when in reality, they are duped by big corporations who continue to take us over the coals and as consumers we continue to take it up the butt. JUST SAY NO! Watch how fast they drop prices. Look at the PS3, it was an anchor on Sony until they dropped to $400.00. Imagine how those first PS3 buyers feel now.

   Why do I feel raped when we talk about HD-DVD? Is it because I bought one and feel duped? The good thing is that I only paid $98.00 for it. There is no way I would pay $400.00 and $30.00 for a movie, that would be insane. I can buy regular DVDs for $5.00 every Sunday at best buy. I prefer HD over Blu Ray, and I have both (BR for $100.00 with new TV) so I know what I am talking about, I am not ignorant to how they both work. I have both HD and BR and the only movies I own on either one are the 5 free ones that came with them. I still will not pay more than $15.00 for one. There are over 400 HD-DVD movies out there and they are coming down to my price range. I will build up my collection at bargain prices. I just read that some of the movie studios (Warner Bros.) will continue to make HD-DVD movies as long as people are buying them. As of right now there are well over 1 million HD-DVD players sold in the US alone, that is a lot of money to not to go after, especially when the profit margin from HD-DVD is far greater than that on BLu-Ray. I also believe LG is continuing to sell and make HD-DVD/BR players. I hope so. I do not have much hope. At least I know I am not alone, from all that I read on the Internet, there are a lot of other just like me who feel cheated.

   Ditto, I have both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD and I still watch Lord of the Rings on regular DVD and it still looks awesome. I will never even pay $19.00 for a BLu-Ray DVD. I will also rent regular dvd instead of buying. Those who think Sony won the war are the real fools. They bought the war with a lot of money. Who do you think has to pay for that? Thats right "YOU DO!"

   I am not sure how far Blu-Ray will go. I have one and the only reason I have one is that my new TV came with one for $100.00. So far, I am not that impressed, I also own HD-DVD player ($98.00) and am saddened by the news that they will no longer be supported. I am not a big Toshiba or Sony fan, but a big fan of new technology. Both players have slow load times, Blu-Ray takes twice as long. I also noticed that Blu-Ray disk scratch so much easier than those on HD-DVD and regular DVD's do. I love the picture quality on both players, but would not buy either one for more than $200.00. I still do not think that the upgrade from DVD from HD DVD is as great as it was from VCR to DVD. I also will not buy a HD or BLU-Ray disk for $$$$ range that they sell for in stores. I will only rent online, and it usually takes 3 to 4 times longer to get the movies, I end up getting regular DVDs if I want to see a movie bad enough. I would still rather buy 3 or 4 DVDs for the price of one HD or BLu-Ray movie. I do not think Sony will ever get back what they had to pay off for winning the HD war, and in the end digital downloads will most likely be the big winner. Enjoy it while it last, and I hope the consumer will force them to drive the prices down. WE HAVE THE POWER! DO NOT BUY UNTIL THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
