Video Asylum

"did bought" and "to buy" are 2 very different things.

answers won't be valid if you have already made purchased.
you bought your plasma TV mid of last year, isn't it?
you mentioned something like that on May 31, 2009 at 16:55:29
the issue is whether anyone will still intentionally buy a new video component knowing full well that some features (they probably may use in the future) are not going to be available.
a more suitable question for you is:
if someone has the dough and the inclination to buy the ayre blu-ray player DX5 (souped up BD83), which for hypothetical question's sake is out next week, will you still recommend the person to buy it?
the new player will cost USD$10K
but it isn't 3D ready (since it is a reworked BD83)
it probably will sound fabulous.

yes, I just meant to say I would not be buying into 3D - Jazz Inmate 16:18:17 02/18/10 (2)
partially because of my recent purchases and mainly because I'm just not interested.

- so you're pissed because u bought in too early? - jeromelang 18:55:55 02/18/10 (1)
  we seen this type of rationale came from people who own megabucks CD player against SACD when it first came out. remember?
  
  look:
  
  the poll was meant to find out if people will intentionally buy expensive new video components now, in the full knowledge that that component isn't future proof.
  it's not for your rants about imagined problems of 3D.
  we have already read enough about them in ole's thread below.
  
  case in point:
  
  the new upcoming ayre DX5.
  
  said to have been given an overhaul in virtually every part of its audio section - both digital and analog.
  knowing charles hanson track record, it is probably going to sound not too bad.
  problem is: it is based on the soon to be outdated oppo HDMI 1.3 platform, and it cost $10K.
  
  given this current transitional period, is it wise to buy this ayre player now?

    I'm very happy with the KRP-600M. It is honestly the best display I have ever seen. I don't intend to replace this screen for 10 yrs if I can help it. And I didn't spend much on it. It was 1/3rd the price of my early generation Pioneer plasma I bought 7+ years ago.
    
    As for the Oppo, I could see replacing it relatively soon, but again I don't think 3D will be a factor in that decision. This isn't a rant--I'm just being honest about my level of interest.
