When you have to be polite.... - Blu-ray Forum

Yesterday, I spent a pleasant day with a good friend. Great food and wonderful conversation. Even though the weather was quite chilly, we hiked around the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs before settling down to a Thanksgiving feast. I continued to Blu massage him a bit, still trying to get him to at least buy the Sony S300 player at Best Buy today because of the free movies and gift card and great price (he can sooo afford it).

But did you ever then have to sit down and watch a regular DVD being played on a regular DVD player (that doesn't even upconvert), although the TV you're watching it on is probably an early 1080i Hi Def? And did you then have to bite your tongue--repeatedly--because the viewing experience was really, truly, genuinely awful? So awful, in fact, that you wanted to scream aloud, "Give me knitting needles so that I may plunge them into my eyes because I CAN"T WATCH THIS CRAP ONE MINUTE LONGER!"?

Well, I didn't scream aloud and make a Blu ass of myself. I sat there, quietly. But, upon departure, I once more gently reminded him that he ought to head over to Best Buy today and at least *consider* buying an S300 at that great price.

Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. I feel better now. Thanks.
