I also wish they had a US model. I know that the Pioneer Blu-Ray player is closer to release, but I don't see sony using a Pioneer Blu-Ray player in their demo since the AV shop doesn't even carry Pioneer. ]]>Mar 29th 2006 11:09AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/29/blu-ray-demo-impressions/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/29/blu-ray-demo-impressions/Mar 29th 2006 11:21AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/29/blu-ray-demo-impressions/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/29/blu-ray-demo-impressions/Actualy it is a JDM model so it is only 1080i, when the production US modles comes out they will support 1080p output.]]>Mar 29th 2006 11:26AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/29/blu-ray-demo-impressions/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/29/blu-ray-demo-impressions/Mar 29th 2006 12:18PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/29/blu-ray-demo-impressions/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/03/29/blu-ray-demo-impressions/
I'll start off by saying that this has nothing to do with ABT, but with the Sony reps.

I went to the demo today and was not at all impressed. I'm sure it wasn't the Blu-Ray that didn't impress me but the whole demo the reps put on. They started 20 minutes late because of technical issues.
They had it on a 60" SXRD that was in the corner ofthe Sony room with bright lights and everyone was about 15' away from the screen during the demo.

He showed a Superbit DVD of Spiderman 2 and then a clip from the Blu-Ray machine (which was the Blu-Ray machine that is 3 years old and from Japan). the funniest part was when after he showed the clips, he asked everyone which one they liked better. 75% of the people said "The First One" which was the DVD laugh.gif
He then backtracked and said that maybe because of the small screen and distance away from the screen that was the reason. I didn't see a difference either though. But again, I think it was because of how far away we were.

They only had about 5 trailers to show, one was an on screen comparison of DVD and BR side by side. It was of Lawrence of Arabia. I could not see a difference. In order to see, you must have had to be 1' from the screen?? Plus that's an old not so great transfer to begin with.

They also had a player on the Qualia projector, but it wasn't that great looking either.

Overall if I was a dumb consumer and watched both HD-DVD and BR demos, I would be buying HD-DVD (ignoring the content available). The King Kong trailer blew away any of the BR trailers they showed.

Well, that was my 2 cents. Anyone else go see it??]]>Apr 3rd 2006 12:31PM
