This isn't the first time a "recognized name" has supported something most enthusiasts were against. Stacey Spears, a HIGHLY respected "name", feels dts audio on DVD releases is "redundant" and simply "not necessary" (para-phrasing, of course) and his opinion is shared with others considered to be "experts". Of course we all know dts is popular among "enthusiasts" like us.
Sometimes I think people on BOTH sides of this war get too sensitive when their format appears to be "attacked". If there is an issue with the PS3's VC-1 decoder, I don't think that should be of any surprise to people since the PS3 isn't a dedicated Blu-Ray movie player. If there isn't an issue with the PS3's VC-1 decoder, there is nothing for PS3 owners to be concerned about. One of the PS3's roles was to be a Blu-Ray movie player and when the PS3 came out it was among the better of the Blu-Ray player options, if not the best. The PS3 wasn't intended to be the BEST Blu-Ray player ever made so I'm not sure why PS3 fans here are reacting the way they are.

Yes, but bd supporters are not touted as "experts", as hd-dvd supporters are to further what has been an agenda to bash ps3 and blu-ray in general. I still refuse to treat threads as vaccuums without reference to previous postings and threads. It gives context in my opinion, and one that highlights what the true intention of the poster is.
