Low Prices and Incomplete Designs
2009
We love low prices as much as the next guy but not the current trend where you get state-of-the-art features at unheard of prices only to find out its performance suffers from basic design and quality issues. Such as the Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu-ray player which has an annoying habit of refusing to play and or locking up on the occasion movie.
Sure it plays most discs exceptionally but I’m not so sure your movie night guests will want to watch some old movie when Quantum of Solace refuses to play. Of course you could swap it for your kid’s PS3 which will play the movie without issue.
We also love bleeding-edge products but nowadays it appears they ship before the design specs are even completed. Of course products evolve over time and you can’t expect them to last forever. But how about lasting long enough to support their advertised features! Again we pick on the Pioneer player which has been waiting over six months to receive DTS-HD MA decoding via firmware.
