Crave: "Five reasons you shouldn't buy a Blu-ray player yet"

[Anthony P]

Well said. Both sides have been plagued with frequent, long updates. Maybe it's because the technology is new, and they're working out the kinks. But think about it like this - what if they had to do that when they originally released DVD players and the internet was far less mainstream that it is now?

there where no FW but DVD was just as plagued, the difference was that your player became obsolete. Many of the first players could not play DL disks when they came out several months later. Others could play them but there was a major issues on the brake (movie stuttering and freezing).

With web features and fancy "menus" upgrades are a thing you should get used to (be it BD, HD DVD or something else like DL)

I love BD also and want it to flourish. But with articles like this on the homepage of a very popular website, news travels fast and this could hurt BDs mass adoption. That's not to say it's totally true, but J6P might not know the difference. I hope BDs issues don't hurt its market acceptance, but they need to get the kinks worked out fast.

why do you think they are there? it is precisely to drive people away. It is knowsn as FUD read all about it. It is spread by people with a bias against something (like this author) These are not issues with BD, they are garbage created by the authors to slow down BD adoption.
