"How could you people not be interested in next generation features, surround sound and especially HD audio codecs??!!!!! What would be the point in going BR if you weren't, I don't understand! Why do you want to settle for second best or only half the package??!"
I've been around long enough to know marketing BS when I see it and that is what all the breathless gushing over the coming of profile 2.0 looks like to me. I would rather a manufacturer just leave the gimmicks aside and focus on giving me a quality picture and a good UI. I could care less about connecting to some crappy movie portal thrown together by some marketing department to sell you more stuff or some stupid java game rushed out the door to pad the special features. I don't want to chat with people I don't know about a movie while I am watching it. And why should I care about surround sound codecs if I am not willing to shell out thousands of dollars for new system to listen them on.
Its very easy to get lost in the spec game and lose focus that the main reason for owning a disc player is to actually watch movies and TV shows.
That is why we don't care. Why is this such a problem?
