Seriously?

If I weren't interacting with the "buying public" on a daily basis, I would doubt the accuracy of the info. This also backs up what Brew was saying about PS3 Blu-Ray usage. It seems a little sad to me that so many people bought systems that they have no idea what they do... makes me wonder why they bought them. Bored, I guess.

Just goes to show you that I am ALWAYS RIGHT. Common sense, as I say, is on my side I was going to post a similar article last night, and I may do so still.

Wow. That is truly amazing. Even with ads like "1080p is more clear than real life!" people still don't get it? Wow. It truly does go to show, however, that we are clearly in the minority when it comes to caring about HDMI connections, etc. If 60-70% of the people don't even realize that the 360 and PS3 offer HD capabilities, that's just sad.

Not surprising. Many people with HD sets think they are watching HD when it's actually SD. Your average person has no clue. And I mean even very intelligent people. They either don't no or don't care. SD, unfortunately, is good enough for most people.

I'm not surprised at all. Most people aren't that discriminating when it comes to electronics. One of my old roommates told me before he moved in with me that a TV was just a TV. After watching stuff on my TV, which I did research on before buying, what a difference the picture was on mine compared to his.

It's just a matter of what people are into. You, my friends, like electronics so there is a difference in your eyes.

My favorite is people referring to a stereo signal split onto 4 speakers "surround sound."

Shame on these consumers, they don't even know about HD graphics.
