Blu-ray's 3D spec isn't what it could be

Jan 8th 2010 3:03AM on Engadget

@stockjones

What are you on about?

God this has been hashed over and over. There is not a single tech spec about HD-DVD that was better. Yes, the spec was finalized. Yes the initial hardware was cheaper. But, spec wise, Blu-ray was and is simply better. You sound like the people that whine about how much better America was when the were a kid -- fantasy nostalgia that is all.

Sony extending premium PSN content to other devices, blowing minds

Actually, they said it would be coming to PCs also. My guess is they will open this for licensing for other products.

HD DVD's Managed Copy was never necessarily free, was always Mandatory

You are correct that high(er)-brow movies sold better to the HD-DVD crowd by about twenty percent. However it takes ten of these movies to equal the earning power of one mass market flick. Atonement has lifetime DVD sales of $20 million while the Harry Potter series has sold over $1 billion in DVDs. Like it or not, "mass market" movies are where studios make their money and across the board those sold better on blu-ray. In the months leading up to Warner's decision, those money making movies were selling at a ratio of 2:1 in favor of blu.

Sony goes in a cheaper direction with wireless XBR10 BRAVIA LCDs

Does Samsung even have a wireless HDTV? I know they had a plasma a couple of years ago but did not think they had one now. I have also never seen a Vizio with this option. The only LG that I can find with a wireless connection is a much lower quality television.

You do realize that this is currently Sony's top of the line television? That they do offer many more Wal-mart priced units?

I honestly do not get why people are unwilling to pay for a nice product.

Sony polishes a couple of its ES receivers, intros the STR-DA3500ES and STR-DA5500ES

Care to elaborate?

Care to wait for a review?

Already previewed these have you?

Set it up and compared it to other units in a side by side?

Video: Slim, wireless, LED-backlit Sony ZX5 LCDs prepped for November release

I don't have access to the story immediately but the reason for switching is the cost of manufacture. Samsung was eating Sony's lunch on cost. Samsung uses the edge-lit model and it saves over $100 per unit to build. On top of that, many reviewers say the edge-lit Samsungs had a better picture.

Panasonic's 85-inch plasma screen is $30,000 worth of decadence

Once they shave the price on this thing down to about $9,999.99 it will be mine.

Engadget's back to school giveaway, part one!

This would be amazingly nice to have.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"As both a gamer and programmer, I spend all day at a keyboard in dimly lit environments. Work has me used to a Microsoft 'Natural' keyboard, but the closest thing that was backlit doesn't seem to be made anymore, cost a ton when it was, and didn't even have a number pad! Everything I've used or even found that is illuminated is a straight, traditional, keyboard. Is this too much to ask? So my question is: What is the best (if there even are any) illuminated, natural / ergo / curved, fully functional (dedicated "F" and number pad keys) keyboard out there? Or if one doesn't exist, what is the best illuminated keyboard for a work environment (not for home gaming... I don't need 18 extra WoW hotkeys on it)? Thanks!"
