Video Asylum

The number of respondents in an on-line video board poll isn't any indication either way.

70.243.200.19

A lot of folks will only watch the 1st disc and save the others to watch later on as time permits or go through them slowly, one at a time over a matter of days, until they reach disc 5 & realize that there's a problem.

Some folks may have purchased this set as a christmas gift for a friend or family member & be totally unaware of the problem. Even more folks who bought sets & aren't regulars on boards like this probably haven't been informed that a problem exists.

No one can say this early on from the number of respondents in an unscientific poll how deep the problem runs. It may be a few dozen, a few hundred, or a few thousand folks who received the wrong discs; perhaps more.

I'm not saying that this is a hyper-critical problem of earth-shattering proportions for Blu-ray owners, but like global warming, for some folks this may be one more inconvenient truth to be filed away for future reference. ;0)

So your point is that it's unwise to buy into online claims without supporting evidence - Jazz Inmate 10:38:49 12/21/07 (5)
Good. That was my point from the beginning. You were just too slow to understand it until you could apply it in a way that worked against me.

- You're still off the point. An on-line poll of regulars on a given site isn't reflective... - Audiophilander 15:01:56 12/21/07 (4)
  ... of the broader public impact. THAT is the point; this has nothing to do with claims made in respect to either format.

  - Where would you go to poll blu-ray adopters about a recently-released BD? - Jazz Inmate 15:42:46 12/21/07 (3)
    Blu-ray.com seems like a fairly obvious choice to me.
    
    The broader issue, as I said, is that you shouldn't be so quick to spread claims that you can't verify.

        ...but in practical terms if you can't see it or access it and rarely (if ever) use it, then of what value is such a revelation to the consumer except perhaps as bragging rights for technology wonks? ;0)
        Food for thought.
