Fox bringing Sideways, Donnie Darko to Blu-ray in February {Engadget HD}
Nov 6th 2008 11:23AM While the MSRP is high, it is not what you will actually pay for retail.
Also, new release 2-disc special edition DVDs aren't even priced at $15 or below, usually around $22-23, so why do new release BDs need to be lower than that?

Nov 5th 2008 2:05PM +1 on a la carte
We only watch approx 15 different channels (all in HD except USA and CNN), yet pay for 700+ on Time Warner. I wonder how much $ per year could actually be saved if they provided a la carte options because I would be all for it if it provided significant savings.
NAD's $1,500 T 587 Profile 2.0 Blu-ray deck shipping in December {Engadget HD}
Nov 4th 2008 9:52AM Great reference to one of my favorite movies as a child...M-M-M-M-Monster Squad!
Good times.
Apple's Steve Jobs calls Blu-ray "a bag of hurt" {Engadget HD}
Oct 15th 2008 1:31PM Great point about being 1 of the 18 board members of the BDA...why spend the $50,000 annual fee to be a board member if you're not going to fully back the format?? It doesn't make sense to me.
While I don't care about Blu-ray support on my laptop, I would at least like the option of Blu-ray on an iMac since the beautiful 24" display is perfect for watching 1080p content, however, these announcements don't bode well for the next generation iMacs.
Apple may not get my business if they don't include Blu-ray in their next iMac upgrade, instead, that $ will go towards a Sony, HP or Dell all-in-one PC with Blu-ray support.

Nielsen VideoScan High-Def market share for week ending October 5th, 2008 {Engadget HD}
Oct 11th 2008 2:30PM Why don't u just rent it and save yourself the $ if you don't think you'll watch it again? Makes sense right?
Boondock Saints gets Blu-ray release date, can you say Veritas Aequitas? {Engadget HD}
Oct 11th 2008 2:16PM [sarcastically] Oh, what are you gonna need that f*ckin rope for?
Nielsen VideoScan High-Def market share for week ending August 10th, 2008 {Engadget HD}
Aug 20th 2008 9:38PM Ugh...for the last time, Sony does not dictate the pricing of BDs and players, as there are many other members of the BDA. Panasonic, Pioneer, LG, Sharp, Samsung, etc. all produce players and the movie studios decide BD pricing. Why is everyone always putting the burden on Sony? Misinformation. Get your facts straight please.
Eyes-on Toshiba's new XD-E500 upconverting DVD player {Engadget HD}
Aug 19th 2008 4:47PM Yeah, my PS3 does a real good job of upconverting DVDs, much better than my standalone Sony Upconverting DVD player, and would really like to see a side-by-side comparison.
Still wouldn't buy one though, even if it bests the PS3. You'd be better off saving your money and wait a few months to pick up a standalone BD player on Black Friday.
007: Casino Royale Collector's Edition first Blu-ray Disc to double-dip {Engadget HD}
Aug 14th 2008 10:11AM Hopefully this will drop the price of the original BD release, as I have yet to pick it up. Not too interested in all the extra features, just want the best PQ and audio offered for a reasonable price.
