When Warner Brothers announced they were switching to Blu Ray, one reason they gave was that the consumers supported Blu Ray over HD DVD. Thati s a flat out lie. Warner Brothers became Blu Ray exclusive because Sony cut them a large check. It wasn’t about the customer, it was about the kickback. Don’t let Warner Brothers get away with their lies. Support HD DVD. The only reason Blu Ray has sold many of their overpriced players is because Sony put it into its PlayStation 3 leading that system to come out at over $400 per unit. Now, Sony is forced to take a huge loss to lower the price point to $399.
Blu Ray purposely screwed early adopters, and they blame the early adopters by saying “they knew what they were buying”. The same features HD DVD had at launch, Blu Ray won’t have until they release Profile 2.0 and new players. Now here’s the screw, the only Blu Ray player that can upgrade to Profile 2.0 is the PlayStation 3. Profile 2.0 Blu Ray players won’t be available until Q3 this year. And there is no guarantee Profile 2.0 discs will even play on older players. Sony insists that it will only be the special features that won’t play, but some studios don’t seem as sure.
Sony formats have always failed . . . betamax, minidisc. Why support a company that rushed out their new technology just to not fall behind HD DVD. They couldn’t compete with HD DVD, so they put out their incomplete technology and put the money machine to work buying studio support. So don’t support a format that doesn’t care about their customers. And don’t support the studios that don’t care about their customers by being Blu Ray exclusive.
