Bad Signs For Blu-ray

Posted by timothy on from the anguish-languish dept.

Ian Lamont writes "More than six months after HD-DVD gave up the ghost, there are several signs that Sony's rival Blu-ray format is struggling to gain consumer acceptance. According to recent sales data from Nielsen, market share for Blu-ray discs in the U.S. is declining, and Sony and its Blu-ray partners are trying several tactics to boost the format — including free trial discs bundled into magazines and cheap Blu-ray players that cost less than $200."

    All transfers of "The Fifth Element" are by definition inferior transfers.

    "Hey, I'm the savior of the universe in this badly done live action version of 'Heavy Metal', the perfect woman, and you can play chopsticks on my ribcage 'cuz I weigh 90 lbs soaking wet."

    I wanted so very badly to like that movie, but no, couldn't do it. It's not like I have taste - I mean, I have 'Hudson Hawk' on DVD - {G}

    "pound" is a unit of weight. not mass.

    Actually, "pound" is ambiguous. It can mean 4.4482216152605 N (force) or 0.45359237 kg (mass), among other things.
