    $959 and it doesn't even go to 11.

    I think he meant, "When I remove MY BRAIN, the attractiveness of the music is gone."

    Something tells me the irony of Fight Club being released on perhaps the most consumer unfriendly format ever devised is not lost on Chuck Palahniuk.

    @oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: ICT? HDMI? HDCP?

    Should I continue throwing out acronyms or is that good enough?

    @jayhawk11 loves sammiches: hrmm I guess I never thought of it that way. If you have an HDTV, why would you not use HDMI. If you have an HD TV why would it not be HDCP compliant.. I have never heard of any one having consumer unfriendly issues with bluray. If you the hardware, there are no problems. RTFM

    @oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: HDTV's and HD displays pre-date both HDMI and HDCP. You have sets with only component video. You have thousands of sets with DVI connections that won't pass HDCP. You have thousands of sets with HDCP compliant DVI connections, but using a HDMI-to-DVI converter breaks the HDCP chain.

    It's an additional hassle that didn't need to be.

    @jayhawk11 loves sammiches: Whining about "Consumer Friendliness" on a blog post about Fight Club gives Palahnuik a nice chubby. Next up: a commenter on Martha Stewart's blog bringing up "Eco-Friendliness"

    @Laughin_Caulk: Perhaps you misunderstood. Being "consumer unfriendly" generally means "Corporate-friendly". Something which Jack's id most certainly does not approve of.

    @Chimaera: Im sorry but if you're buying a bluray player RTFM dont assume your 500lb projection HD TV that supports 720i is going to be up to snuff.

    @MarcusMaximus: Well, it's confusing in a different way, like is David Bowie a man or a woman? Is he a pedophile? What is up with those guys pulling body parts off and flying heads? Did I take shrooms or drop acid and didn't know it? Was that beer really that strong? I'm oddly aroused, why? Is that a cucumber in his pants? Does he have nipple antennae to communicate out in space?

    While the story is fairly straight forward, it is very confusing.

    @MarcusMaximus: Nobody really knows... except Jim Henson. Nevermind the url title; I'm not sending you out to some freaky garbage... if you visit and search [www.sweatpantserection.com], you will find an over-the-top third-party review and commentary from a hilarious girl that had my rollin'. I wanted to post the link directly, but it's fair to say that the url (title) is NSFW and I don't feel like having to explain to the IT department why the "sweatpantserection" website is not what it sounds like. I suggest you all do the same.
