This lack of knowledge spreads across all technologies, HDTV's, Receivers and Pre-Amp Processors, High Definition DVD Players, understanding what all these advanced audio codecs offer in their audio experience, what they need to hear it, and so on, and so on.

So, I disagree that this site becomes worthless once the format war is over.

The "challange" is to inform and equip the new, prospective buyer of high definition entertainment products with information (Facts) they can use. This in my opinion is paramount to the adoption, on a mass scale, to what we early adopters have fought so hard to bring into the limelight. So, our task is not ending, it is just beginning, with an audience of similar interest to ours, simply less informed. At least, in accepting this challange, and helping the uninformed, there will be less tension around here, less speculation or heresay, he said, she said, kinda stuff. I'll find that refreshing [Jim]

I agree. My post does not reflect that as usual because my wording is inadequate. As for LATEST and GREATEST hard hitting who is where in the format war - blu-ray.com will be useless at that point. HOWEVER - it will remain the pinnacle place to get any and all info related to blu-ray and how it works and what kind of equipment and so on.

Then again, it's a double edged sword. If blu-ray.com expects to stay booming, they will need to adapt - add new categories to supplement the lack of news or whatever if that makes sense? You can only talk about something so much before it becomes redundant. Without any new stimulation - things become stagnant and die off.
