VUDU readying Blu-ray quality rentals {Engadget HD}
Sep 10th 2008 1:54PM It might be Blu-ray quality video (i doubt it) but is it Blu-ray quality audio? I think it is Dolby Digital. so it isnt.
For $18.00 a month I can watch all the Blu-ray and standard DVD discs I want from Netflix. I guess i'm old but the 2 day turn around doesnt bother me. I can make up my mind a couple of days in advance. way cheaper than the per movie price from VUDU.
DirecTV to boast 130 HD channels on August 14th, 1080p movies later this year {Engadget HD}
Jul 29th 2008 11:25AM Slam me all you want but my reference is Blu-ray. there are exceptions but most OTA and DirecTV HD is over compressed, creating a soft picture. the larger the screen the more this becomes an issue.

Jul 28th 2008 1:21PM I have DirecTV and the so called HD is painful to watch. It is so over compressed, it's a joke. So now we will have 30 more over compressed channels.
just because it is 720p, 1080i or 1080p doesn't mean it's HD.

Second-generation Pioneer KURO unveiled: 5x deeper black levels {Engadget HD}
May 13th 2008 4:00PM Bob,
Pioneer is not getting out of the plasma business. yes some other company will make the plasma glass but to pioneers specification.
it's no different than when you buy a Sony LCD. that panel was probably manufactured by Samsung and soon by Sharp.
Apple iTunes to compete "day-and-date" with DVD releases -- Wal-Mart weeps (now official) {Engadget HD}
May 1st 2008 1:37PM I'm tired of this. Why would you spend $15.00 for a digital file that will only play in your house or on your iPod?
Blu-ray is the absolute best in picture and audio quality. I feel like Apple and the media are doing everything in their power to undermine this. And fortunately I don’t think it is working.

Blu-ray player sales sink as 2008 begins... except for Sony's PlayStation 3 {Engadget HD}
May 1st 2008 11:10AM Prices won’t come down until players are available. Why lower the price if you can’t keep them in stock. Do you see boxes of unsold Blu-ray players?
Toshiba lost money on every player they sold. Blu-ray isn’t going to follow that business model.
On a side note, I watched Nancy Drew last night in standard DVD. It looked like crap compared to Blu-ray. So the DVD is ok crowd get some glasses.
