When enthusiast sites fail to show any enthusiasm...

Personally besides sony being involved in Bluray the only other thing that turned me off was the arrogance of some Bluray owners and the way they were so quick to attack HD DVD owners or even those who simply had the "audacity" to question any of Bluray qualities/features (or lack thereof) in the beginning.

When it comes down to it Bluray is overall a good format. However will it replace DVD? I certainly hope so now that I've invested in the format. However I won't dismiss the threat of downloads or something else...

In short if I think people who support Bluray need to start acting a lil bit more mature. Maybe its only the rabid sony/ps3 fanbase and maybe its as common as I think it is but in the end this war was VERY divisive and the wounds won't heal that quickly.

I've heard MANY HD DVD owners claim whole heartedly that they won't support Bluray no matter what despite the fact that they LOVE High Def movies.

Thats a serious problem. We NEED those people to jump on board. Its not going to happen if theres this constant bashing between the two groups...

Anyways thats my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

Still waiting patiently for those Profile 2.0 Players to come out and dazzle me...

The HD DVD owners as a whole have acted far worse that Blu-ray folks (regarding the type of people you mentioned). I guess you haven't been reading AVS, HDD, or HTF the last two years.

The fact you still have people clinging to HD DVD and now thinking "super upscaling" is the new answer just goes to show the mentality of these people.
