The General Home Theater Discussion board was such a pleasant place in their absence, was it not?

It really is a massive shame he is back. Makes me want to stop reading these forums...

Yes, everyone could just continue to believe theie lies without challenge.  It was truly a little pocket beyond space, time and reason.

You need to compare it to something else? Since when?

Seeing how you're having so much trouble, I'll start you off:

1. COST


2. No analog outs
3. No bitstreaming of HD Audio via HDMI

It's more than obvious that you don't! 
Or are you just getting your threads confused in your fanboydom? 

Who even mentioned the Xbox? I asked you to list some negatives about the PS3 or bluray and you can't do it cos then you'd have to admit that your holy grail is just another product like all the other products out there!

This is not Blu-ray's fault.  It is the movie studios' fault.  They can encode EVERY title as region free.  This is another case of not placing blame where it belongs.

That's what happens when you have such a versatile unit that's being discussed in MANY different context.

So, yes, if you are talking about Blu-ray (and NOT the PS3 specifically), it is more expensive than the now departed HD DVD.  However, it is LESS expensive than DVD players at the same time from launch (I'm sure you don't want to acknowledge that, though).

Also, I will add that number 2 and 3 adds to number 1.  Or, are we just asking companies to continue to add something for nothing?

Not sure if this was ever fixed, never bothered to check...

6. Does not upconvert standard def on Blu-ray discs. (or, if it upconverts, it never morphed the image from a pillar box.)

This is true.  Actually, I like it this way.  I have my PS3 behind my TV.  I have a high end remote, but line-of-sight doesn't work.  Bluetooth is a great solution for this.  I might try the IR-to-Bluetooth and vice-versa solution.
