Went to the Disney Magical Blu-ray tour

So I went to the Disney/Panasonic Bluray tour yesturday in Farmington Ct. and was actually suprised by a couple of things. First off, being Disney there were a lot of couples with their kids there. The kids would watch the previews and yell "NEMO" and such as the Parents were getting the info on BD. I could see how they lured the kids in to get to the parents interested, very smart. The actual Disney/Panasonic personel were very aware of the latest Toshiba news and were passing it on to the local hired help and told them they were probibly going to be questioned about it. I watched the little demo and listened to the lady speak of the advantages bluray has over dvd.
They had 6 speakers set up as well as 2 subs, the only problem was the music in the mall was loud also.

The TV's they used were 50" panasonic LCD's and the DMP-BD30K were the players. I compared the picture to my 56" Samsung DLP and was happy that my picture was just as sharp as theirs. I was like "yeah, this is what I see at home", then you would hear someone say "Look how CLEAR that picture is!!"
and realize that not everyone has seen Bluray and that perhaps i'm now taking it for granted.

It was worth going to see, plus it was less than 2 miles from home. The Truck box, the trailer from an 18 wheeler, that they haul the stuff in was sitting outside and was impressive as well with the bluray logo and pictures, wish I had brought my camera.
