Re: Bristol Sound and Vision Show 2009 Blu-ray Players

Cool vid,glad to hear the guys at the sharp end dismissing BD-live as pointless(well it is,come on.)

Completely wasted on me and no doubt millions(ok,hundreds)of others who just want a great pic and lossless sound.

I got the impression the onkyo guy near end of the video didnt really think much of the onkyo blu-ray player lol or he was just being honest about it.
