]]> <![CDATA[Pioneer's 2008 Blu-ray Player Line Leaked]]> Agreed. I'll wait until Pioneer and Denon start making 2.0 BR players before I buy one. Not that 2.0 features are essential but Hollywood studios are still releasing what I would consider 1.0 BRs.

When they start releasing all movies in DTS HD or DD HD 1080p, uncut etc - then I'll start replacing my DVDs. I'm not going to rebuy a bunch of DVDs only to want the "ultimate BR" release 6 months later.

I wish more things were slot loading.

]]> <![CDATA[Pioneer's 2008 Blu-ray Player Line Leaked]]> @daftrok: Agreed. I think if other BD player manufactures are going to compete with the PS3, they are going to have to have way lower prices. The PS3 is a nice machine for $400.

]]> <![CDATA[Pioneer's 2008 Blu-ray Player Line Leaked]]> I wonder if anyone actually chose other Blu ray players over the PS3; it just seems so stupid other companies aren't even trying to give what Blu ray is suppose to do (BD 2.0, DTS HD master audio, firmware upgrades, etc.)

]]> <![CDATA[Pioneer's 2008 Blu-ray Player Line Leaked]]> "they won't be Profile 2.0, just 1.1"

If this turns out to be accurate, I am dumbfounded. Not that the 2.0 features are all that dramatically important, but how could a 2008 "Elite" product be released missing such features?

* still lovin' my PS3 *

]]> <![CDATA[Pioneer's 2008 Blu-ray Player Line Leaked]]> Wow, Pioneer has managed to make every component they have ever built look exactly the same. If you put this in your component rack with a Pioneer cassette player, it would look like you bought them both yesterday.
