OK, so I may be one of the only people I know that hasn’t jumped on the Blu-Ray technology yet, mostly because I can’t decide if I would prefer to by a Playstation 3. But for those of you not interested in gaming, there is a great offer over at Woot! A Pioneer Blu-Ray player for only $134.99, which is not a bad deal if you are just looking for a Blu-Ray player.

Adrian is 28 years old and lives in Newark, Ohio with his wife Katie, 14-month old son Cooper, and two cats Tyson & Samar. He is a claims adjuster for State Farm Auto Insurance, and he has also worked in their systems department. He was a computer science major at Mt. Vernon Nazarene University, where he also played baseball. He quickly realized that he did not like writing code or script, which is why he changed both majors and schools, graduating from Franklin University with a BS in Business and minor in HR Management.
Adrian has been a gadget enthusiast as far back as he can remember, and his wife might say that he spends more time in Best Buy than he does with her. In his spare time he likes to spend time with his new little family, reading, watching baseball, and assistant coaching on his high school varsity baseball team. He is also in the process of deciding if he is ready for the transition from PC to Mac, as he's sure many of you can relate.
I’m not on it yet either. I still don’t see enough difference to make the premium worth my while yet. My television isn’t big enough to make the picture graniness of DVD show up significantly and I NEVER use any of the DVD extra features.
I’m still lead to believe that SOny is still the best way to go with BluRay due to their involvement in developing the technology. Is that still a fact? Are we past the compatability issues that plagued these things last year?
I keep trying to decide to pull the trigger on lower priced blu-ray machines but I just don’t see the advantage given the price of the media. I love Woot though! BOC!!!
-Chris & Travis, I still debate this daily…reason being that I am not sure if the next wave of HD content will be streaming or downloadable, it is inevitable. So how long with BR really be the standard, that is why I am leaning the direction of a PS3, at least I can play games once new tech comes out for movies. My HD-DVD player only got used for roughly 3-4 months.
As for compatibility I think all of those issues have been cleaned up, but I may be wrong. I do know that start time is still an issue with the PS3 still a firm leader in that category.
