i think the only advantage of blu ray is having a hard copy that you can replay , the downloads auto delete after 1 play plus blu ray has that very handy in movie menu system for finding scenes , changing setting and getting alternative soundtracks , one of the biggest improvements over dvd but hardly ever mentioned i'm investigating a few dvd upscalers

i guess mr 0.1% was having a dig at posters like me and 355f ( for having opinions ) i always thought forums were all about differing opposing ideas if we all agreed that bno could do no wrong and all their products were perfect what would be the point ? in my view it's called constructive criticism , if bno had taken on board some of our suggestions

and if you turn it on it's side it makes a handy wastebasket

i'm sorry , but anyone who defends the beocentre 2000 should be used for medical experiments the only useful thing about it was the plug , at least you could cut it off and use it on a lampshade or something that actually lasted more than 3 days

handbrake is also a superb dvd ripping app http://handbrake.fr/

buy a ps3 , the blu rays look stunning , you can browse the web with it and even play games on a bv9 via hdmi they would look staggeringly good !

all those awful rebranded samsung trinkets that do nothing for bno's reputation or bank balance and at least half the stuff made in the 80's on the cheap , that twin cassette deck monstrosity springs to mind - even jj made mess ups the beocentre 2000/2 from the early 80's was dreadful too , never seen so much plastic and fake wood on one

anything in the last 5 years

big deal on the circular interface , apple used the wheel on it's ipod , now it's moved on if they bring anything out even remotely approaching the ipod touch i'll be impressed no , make that flabbergasted it's really quite sad , apple and bno could make a wonderful team , but both companies are so arrogant in their own ways it will
