I am an electronics engineer and computer programmer.
I will not tolerate buying a consumer item like this that
isn't finished when it is released on the market. They
need to freeze the blu-ray specification and detail what
is supported and what isn't.

Until they do this, I intend to stick with standard DVDs
that actually load and play real quick. The idea that a
disk could take several minutes to load is ludicrous.
