Daniel, if you will start correcting that article, then it needs a complete rewrite, I think the only three reasons pretty much are
1)you hate Sony (and you think BD=Sony)
2)you are still POed HD DVD lost and it is BD’s fault
3)you work for a company that does not want BD to succeed (for example like Toshiba where you want to continue with DVD royalties or MS where you want to make sure BD does not take off so that in a few years you can pressure studios into DL is the only solution)
let’s face it
1)film has much higher resolution then HD does today (roughly 6k- 1080p is just under 2k) and that is for 35mm if you go with stuff like 70mm or panavision…. It is even higher. Also films are scanned at higher resolution for digital archiving, during the DVD days most where at 2k and some 4k)
2)the costs are all wrong. There are BD players <300$,
[Link: walmart.com] so 298$ -100$ gift certificate so that brings it to 198$, so how do units cost at least 400$? And then there is the other side, yes there are players at over 1000$ but there are also DVD players >1000$ in both cases they are the minority
3)so there are DVD players with different feature sets, everything has them. You can buy a DVD player that does not upscale, an other that does a crappy job, one that does a good one, does it play SACD? DVD-A? MP3?……since when is choice a bad thing?
