A VC-1 vs AVC poll is a dead issue. Enthusiasts like AVC, and everyone is moving in that direction anyway. AVC is evolving and VC-1 is stuck in the mud in terms of development. I know that there are several VC-1 houses actively looking at moving to AVC exclusively because it creates a more efficient workflow. Faster and better encodes= less production time=more discs=more profit ![]() Quote:

![]() I did like what I saw on the BD80 where they had a simplified setup that runs on first boot. However, I do think that to help idiot proof you really need to have a good long explanation in there ![]() |

OK tell me what are they doing with FOX,MGM,Universal and Lionsgate ,how do they listen to DTSHD master audio i'm sure most of them have a second player at least or planning to buy one now.i'm positive most of the first generation players were PS3 or you can say the majority.let's back and face it the decision has been made somewhere and New Line Cinema is switching back.

"The Water Horse: Legend Of The Deep", "I Am Legend", and multiple other titles. Of course, while I don't count them due to more unusual circumstances, Columbia House has had multiple B1G1 sales in the past which I have taken advantage of... which has given me titles, occasionally cheaper than DVD, and on many occasions, at least on par with DVD prices. WBShop has also given me cheaper than DVD prices on many titles. As Wolverine previously mentioned, Disney does $10 coupons on their new releases ("Bolt", "Bedtime Stories", "Race To Witch Mountain", "Hannah Montana: The Movie", and hopefully "Adventureland", Up!", etc...), though they also give $5 DVD coupons which means the Blu-ray isn't usually cheaper than the DVD. As Blu-ray becomes more popular, I'd expect to see more pricing like IAL, TWH:LotD, etc... ~Alan |

The last DVD player I bought (A Sony DVP-NS77H in November of 2007) cost me $85. I had to get that particular model because I wanted one that had S-Video and optical-based digital audio outputs. The less expensive models (which ranged in the $40-$70 range) were lacking one or both of those output options. For $30 you get a truly bare bones DVD player, not something with a full range of outputs and functions. That Sony DVD player replaced a Pioneer 5-disc changer I bought in 2001 for $250. I bought the Pioneer player in 2001 because the Sony S530D DVD player I bought in 1999 for $450 was glitching out like I couldn't believe. It completely froze at the layer change in the Criterion version of The Rock. Blu-ray player prices are actually dropping at a faster rate than DVD players did over the same period of time. That is especially true if you factor in current dollar inflation versus the value of the dollar a decade ago. The funny thing is so many people apply current DVD player prices as if DVD players have always been that cheap. Of course we know that simply is not true. Even in the early years of this decade when the first APEX player was defining new lows in pricing for DVD players, many of the bigger brands were staying well above $100 and $200 price levels until the middle years of this decade. With DVD sales clearly in a trajectory of decline I can't see stores like Wal-Mart offering the player hardware as loss leader items for too much longer. They basically have little to no appeal. Everybody has at least one or more working DVD players and probably another one, two or more broken units gathering dust in a closet or garage. Within the next couple of years the situation will finally take place where anyone looking to replace a broken DVD player will likely be stuck with buying a "DVD player" that happens to also play Blu-ray discs. This is inevitable. |

Right now though, AVC has closed the gap (if there ever was one). |
