When enthusiast sites fail to show any enthusiasm...

I've seen other things posted from the Seattle Times that were less than complimentary to BD. At least this one isn't saying wait for downloads.

And the major reason they give is holding off for price drops. Are there people who haven't figured out yet that technology gets cheaper with time? Of course BD will have larger cuts than most CE equipment in the next couple of years.

What I found funny was the statement that recently dvd players have not needed many firmware updates. How many players did even at the peak? For the most part, what was there to update?

But what pisses me off is this same BS that there is minimal PQ difference between BD and dvd. I have the superbit dvd Knights Tale. One of the best PQ dvds I ever owned. I also have the BD Knights Tale. Among the worst PQ BD's I own, and widely dumped on in the reviews. Any idiot could see that the BD has better PQ, in an AB comparison, and not by just a little. Of course this is on my 1080p projector with an anamorphic lens, not a 27" display or anything, but still, what is this constant droning on that implies you shouldn't buy a BD player unless you have at least a 50" display? So I guess by that logic, nobody with a <= 27" TV 5 years ago should have bought dvd, because the diff in PQ from VHS movies wasn't that noticeable?
