BD models

[The Don]

when are they going to stray away from the 1996 DVD player look?...

these things look like giant treasure chests...except for the Sharp model, which is still kinda bulky...

is this their attempt to milk it again?..obviously?...

the newer models will have more features in the 2nd generation

then the 3rd generation will have the new features upgraded with the new computer technology in regards to compatability....and on top of it...be slimmer....

4th generation will just be alot slimmer...much like current DVD players...

greedy bastages..

LOL, I share in your disgust for the larger players. OTOH I hate how tiny the latest DVD players have become. Still, somewhere inbetween would be nice. The Pioneer doesn't seem overly big IMO.

Good idea.

Honestly, for me, it comes down to either the Sony or the Pioneer Elite if I give in and do something I've never done before: Early adopt.

exactly...and on top of that I'll be purchasing a ps3....so I'll be all bluray'd out...

I want to support this as much as possible...

I read an article on a bluray player yesterday and readers were replying to it....and they said "only 1200.00?"...in response to what the writer put down...

they are saying the BD player doesn't stand a chance...

boy are these kids in for a rude awakening....

why else would only the lower end DVD player manufacturers be in on HD DVD and everyone above them be in the BD market?...

I wish this were coming first, just because I'd like to see how good of a BR player it really is and see if I'm satisifed enough to hold out on a stand alone player for a couple of generations or so like I know I should and probably still will, prudently. (If I don't give in to lust and impulse. )

That's because some of those people have already bought into the same Microsoft sponsored HD-DVD propoganda you're seeing run unchallenged on certain forums.

They see Toshiba firesaling and essentially giving away their mediocre hardware at $500, which is unheard of for a first gen, first run product like these, and it's the same whiners that want to have their cake and eat it, too.

Good, high end CE cost a certain amount of money, especially first run, first gen. You get what you pay for.

We'd all love it if we could get $500 Pioneer Elite BR players and $10 software, but that just isn't reality.
