Blu-ray is no more glitchy or incomplete than DVD was when it was introduced. Lousy non-anamorphic transfers, no component video outputs, lockups, layer changes that took several seconds...did you expect something different this time around?

Anyone who bought into the format this early and complains about not being able to play some lameass interactive "game" a year from now should stay away from technology in general. Buy another player if it means that much to you. Besides, which is worse: being able to watch Lord of the Rings on Blu-ray but not access the special features, or watching your HD-DVD copy of 300 for the 300th time because the format died and you can't buy any new movies?

Personally, I'm happy that the finished, but inferior, specification lost to the beta version of the superior format. Even if I hadn't purchased a PS3 and opted for a Panasonic BD30 instead, I would've replaced it in a year or two if necessary. That's the price you pay when you jump in early.
