Thanks guys!
I just hope I haven't ****** off Audioholics
They're taking heat in the forum if you read any of the comments. Although I'm sure they're used to it, it happens a lot (not just my articles).
The last comment is typical of the poop-storm that editorial rasied, it has me going huh?
This comes from MBaur:
" I agree that much of the commentary around these formats has been sugar coated however it doesn't necessarily stand to reason that an editorial on Audioholics has to take the opposite extreme.
Yes it is an "editorial" but an editor should have caught the disconnect between the title and the contents. We are all guests here on the site and I respect that and attempt to make posts in the spirit of being a guest and visiting the site.
What we read on Audioholics is how we as readers gauge the reliability and benefit of the site. The editorial we are discussing needed the input of an editor, primarily to read it and discuss with the author the disconnect between the title and the actual document. I know I began reading it to inform myself and help me make a decision I felt it failed to provide the insight I was after. I am not discussing whether I agree or disagree with the piece, but the failure of it to deliver the value I hoped to receive. Defending it by telling me that most reviews and articles are sugar coating the devices doesn't make up for the tone and content of the editorial"
I don't get that... he's telling Clint he didn't do his job because the headline was a bad choice I was critical of both formats? I didn't think I was being venemous.
Actually I think both formats are lovely, I am dissapointed there isn't only one though. I am afraid of the glitch preventing BD from being a 50Gig disk though, this is the kind of thing that could drag on and on. At the rate that Sony is troubleshooting lately I'd be surprized if we see 50Gig blu-ray disks by the fall.
HD DVD is the obvious choice for now. Hey, Tommy - since the HD DVD player plays back DVDs anyway, if I were buying now I'd consider it.
