What bugs me about this podcast is the whole "I can't believe they are doing this" type of attitude from both of them.
Seriously guys.. I expected more from you. I know you are rabid Blu-Ray fans but come on. This is an extension of DVD and is in EVERY way good.
For someone who was taunting how we need superiority in everything both picture and sound, I'm surprised that you guys are now criticizing the fact that we can get much much better quality out of regular DVDs thanks to this technology. Basically you are saying, let's have same old crap upscaling of existing DVDs instead of having close to or almost equal footage to HD>
What's exactly bad about that? Oh I know, it complicates things for Blu-Ray. God forbid we have a free and competitive market. What fun would that be when we can pay high prices to BDA and everything that stands in their way is automatically insane. This technology is not even competing with Blu-Ray, granted it complicates things for them as it will further dampen the desire for regular schmo to upgrade to Blu-Ray but hey, that's BDAs problem and will force to them to lower the prices much quicker to the benefit of all of us.
Seriously, let's at least have some objectivity and reason here instead of an hour or so of a podcast filled with rabid fanboyism. Give me a break please.
I told myself that I would listen it again and give you the benefit of the doubt as true technology aficionados but you guys give it such a pro Blu spin on it that's it absolutely ridiculous. You are so tainted that you can't see a good thing when it smacks you in the face.

They obviously didn't.

Really sad on so many levels.
