Just a quick vote to see how people plan to adopt BluRay - whether they intend to get a PS3, a standalone or wait. Many of us have seen BluRay in action - and the rest have all read the reviews - so we are all aware of the problems BD is suffering from at present:
- Video is cropped from it's original cinema aspect ratio
- Releases use outdated (and surpassed) MPEG2 compression
- Releases suffer from digital artifacts
- DD+ soundtracks have been dropped
- BD50 (dual layer discs) are in limited supply compounding all of the above
- Players are expensive (twice the price of HD DVD)
- Menus are a little sluggish
...and we all know it within the capacity of the format to correct all this and become as good as HD DVD is now. However where do you stand with the problems above? Will you buy now at any price or wait until these are all corrected?
