The General Home Theater Discussion board was such a pleasant place in their absence, was it not?

It really is a massive shame he is back. Makes me want to stop reading these forums...

Yes, everyone could just continue to believe theie lies without challenge.  It was truly a little pocket beyond space, time and reason.

What a cop out!
You need to compare it to something else? Since when?

Seeing how you're having so much trouble, I'll start you off:

1. COST

2. No analog outs
3. No bitstreaming of HD Audio via HDMI

4. Region Coding on many titles.

These are valid.

Do you understand now?

It's more than obvious that you don't! 
Or are you just getting your threads confused in your fanboydom? 

Who even mentioned the Xbox? I asked you to list some negatives about the PS3 or bluray and you can't do it cos then you'd have to admit that your holy grail is just another product like all the other products out there!

That's what happens when you have such a versatile unit that's being discussed in MANY different context.

So, yes, if you are talking about Blu-ray (and NOT the PS3 specifically), it is more expensive than the now departed HD DVD.  However, it is LESS expensive than DVD players at the same time from launch (I'm sure you don't want to acknowledge that, though).

5. Bluetooth remote.  It works awesome, but you can't use your universal remote with it (out of the box)

Not sure if this was ever fixed, never bothered to check...

6. Does not upconvert standard def on Blu-ray discs. (or, if it upconverts, it never morphed the image from a pillar box.)

bye bye Sony fanboy A_S (NE)
