Panasonic's 1-inch thick Z1 plasma reviewed: playing with perfection {Engadget HD}
Oct 22nd 2009 11:14AM This panny is the only one that's a true successor to the Pioneers. If it were a lot cheaper, it would be a better TV than the remaining Pios because of it's efficiency and brightness levels.
Xbox 360 officially the only console to stream Netflix -- sorry, PS3 and Wii {Engadget HD}
Aug 12th 2009 1:14PM This really pisses me off. I own both a 360 and a PS3 and like the PS3 far, FAR better. I hate the 360's design (hardware and software) and the only reason I own it is because of the exclusive games --- I just have to tolerate that idiotic, ugly, counterintuitive controller and software in order to play them.
So basically, the 360 is successful ONLY because MS has made exclusive deals for it. This is so typical of them; do a piss-poor job and then make up for it with dubious strategy.
I have netflix, and sometimes watch on the PC. I'd prefer to watch on the PS3. But after their BD price increase, and now this, I'm seriously thinking of dumping them. I do NOT want to support companies that operate this way. As screwed up as sony is themselves, they did a beautiful job on the PS3 in every regard.

3D, ARC and Ethernet capable HDMI 1.4 hardware announced, still a long way off {Engadget HD}
Jul 23rd 2009 7:34PM Unlike 1.3, 1.4 shouldn't make you worried that yuo're going to miss something truly important. Go ahead and buy.
3D, ARC and Ethernet capable HDMI 1.4 hardware announced, still a long way off {Engadget HD}
Jul 23rd 2009 1:07AM HDMI is becoming ever more convoluted with these overly specific features that serve the electronics manufacturers and not the standard. For example, ethernet is an absurd addition to the standard, it will only cause problems and confusion. 3d would be worthwhile if there was a single standard. Audio pass-back is a silly workaround for the problems imposed by HDCP in the first place.

Hulu finally responds to PS3 blocking complaints {Engadget HD}
Jul 20th 2009 3:28PM This "note" said nothing of use to PS3 owners. It also answered nothing as to why, except to imply that the PS3 channel had been objected to by some company (likely sony) along with some gag clause.
Regardless of the underlying industry dysfunction, the letter/note/memo/release accomplishes nothing at all except increase my frustration.
