Consumers delaying Blu-ray purchases, can't find value proposition {Engadget HD}
Aug 1st 2008 4:47PM I didn't read everybody's response word for word and if somebody already mentioned this I am sorry, but another factor in this are women. Convincing women to go from VHS to DVD was easier than DVD to BD because DVD had advantages that had nothing to do with picture quality or sound. You didn't have to rewind them, the tape would not get stuck in your machine or unravel, etc. The main difference as we all know between DVD and BD is picture and sound quality. My wife to this day does not see a difference between DVD and BD, even on our HDTV. Therefore she would never upgrade if it wasn't for me. And women make a lot of the financial decisions in a family. She doesn't even notice the difference between a regular non-HD channel on DirecTV and the same program broadcsting on the HD channel. And even if they do see the difference, I bet most women would not agree that it is a $400 upgrade difference.
DirecTV to boast 130 HD channels on August 14th, 1080p movies later this year {Engadget HD}
Jul 28th 2008 3:30PM The only channels I see "stretch-o-vision" on DirecTV are TBS/TNT, but that's the channel's fault, not DirecTVs. Everything else looks amazing compared to other HD provider's I have seen in person.
If DirecTV looks bad on your TV, it may be your system and/or cables doing you wrong.
Expect The Dark Knight's IMAX sequences on Blu-ray {Engadget HD}
Jul 17th 2008 12:18PM The more people reply and respond to his desperate pleas for attention, the more he is going to whine and make posts like above begging for more attention.
Just ignore him and let him post his little rants and when nobody responds to him he won't know what to do with himself.
Engadget & Joystiq live from Microsoft's E3 2008 keynote {Engadget}
Jul 14th 2008 4:58PM I always get a kick from people who think just because something does not apply to them or their preferences, that the news is not important or exciting news to the public.
I can't stand RPG's yet even I know how big a deal it is for MS to get FFXIII on the 360.
Not everything they announced today applied to me or my gaming habits or preferences, but I thought almost everything they announced was impressive.
Blu-ray releases on July 15th, 2008 {Engadget HD}
Jul 14th 2008 4:51PM I saw The Bank Job at the theater and absolutely loved it. If you're expecting a typical non stop action type Jason Statham movie you might be disappointed, but if you keep your mind off that you'll like it.

Survivor starts first HD season September 18 {Engadget HD}
Jun 30th 2008 12:27PM Wow, MadMike really living up to the user name there.
Can't wait to finally watch this show in HD, now if only Amazing Race and Big Brother will follow.
And what's Big Brother's excuse anyways? All the camera's except for maybe 2 are inside a house.
Sony intros STR-DG520, STR-DG720 and STR-DG820 AV receivers {Engadget HD}
Jun 23rd 2008 11:26AM In my experience with Sony receivers, they aren't the best sounding receivers. Awesome bang for your buck, but not the sound quality of a Yamaha or Harmon Kardon.
And that Onkyo 606 has been getting bad user reviews from what I've read. Only 55 watts per channel or something and everyone is saying it keep shutting off for 2 seconds at a time then coming back on for no apparent reason.
