Bose will decide the format war.

[Seth=L]

That's right, Bose. Bose will decide if Blu-ray or HD DVD will be the next format. After all, they are the most respected name in audio.

(this is a completely BS thread btw, post or don't post if you like.)

I couldn't agree more. Bose has far more influence than China. Unfortunately, with their track record for inclusion of "new" technology, they won't settle the war until sometime in 2018.

 

[adk highlander]

Oh Seth. They are the most respected name in "Audio" they don't know anything about video!

 

[majorloser]

So Seth, you're now trying to gain the new title of "Audioholics Troll".

(NOTE TO SELF: Keep an eye on Seth=L)

I did put it in the steam vent for a reason.

They are going to patent video technology.

They are late on every technology.

Hey Seth, didn't you tell me you own Bose stock?

Sadly, this very well may be true. Regardless of product, Bose marketing is nothing if not effective. As a result, Bose has an awareness, cache and reputation among the Hoi Polloi that very well could be the tipping point.

If Bose going to decide, then I made a mistake throwing away my 8-track recorder 20 years ago.

And by the way Seth...... You yelled at me for starting a useless thread a week ago? The nerve.

 

[mike c]

errr. as much as we don't like Bose ... many consumers will buy bose whatever format they support.

my point is, they do have some "push" in the market.

 

[jliedeka]

Of course when they do come out with a player it will only do 480p but they'll claim it looks as good as 1080p.

 

[stratman]

BOSE will come out with it's own superior format: B0-RAY, I just saw the ad.

"For discriminating buyers only. Forget 1080p when you can have 4080p, the new BO-RAY machine can play any format with one touch button ease, never mind scraping your gnarly knuckles plugging all those wires, with one simple wire you'll be able to experience the BOSE mystique with it's wonderful surround sound you'll swear you're in a stadium or a concert hall, but don't believe us.....try one for yourself and you too will become a believer!

I didn't yell, I sat silently at my computer and used suggestively loud text.

Most thread I start have partial purpose (other than just fun). This thread is fun. Look how much fun Adam is having, and if Adam is having fun we are all having fun.

 

[no. 5]

Look how much fun Adam is having, and if Adam is having fun we are all having fun.

I'm not having fun, I've been on hold for two hours waiting for the lines to open at 1-800-EAT-BOSE... $3 a minute! But it's worth it! $300,000! It'll sound (and look) like a system that costs five times that!




But seriously, I see any involvement by Bose in HD discs going two ways; potently buyers of the gear saying "what's a 'blueray'?", or "Bose has it, so it must be the best!".
Though, the first statement is (I think) much more likely, therefore, I don't think Bose will be making any HD disc players anytime soon.

Bose and CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!!!eleventy1!

HD-BVD... oh yeah. Better sound through research. And by sound, marketing termanology. "Patented Wave guide technology".... I'll guide your wave; FACE!!

 

[Seth=L]

Nice.

In all honesty, Bose will not chose a format. They will wait until the war is over and go with the winning format. Bose doesn't have enough market power to really make a difference. Sure there are Bose-o-holics but there aren't enough of them to dictate the winner of th war. If Bose where to chose a format now it may upset their loyal customers (if they had already decided which format they wanted) and in the future they could possibly upset their loyal customers even more if that format was the loser.

Bose doesn't want people trying to return systems that aren't with the trends, and they also don't want the customers upset if they don't accept returns. Bose is a croud pleasure and would like to maintain the image of wisdom to avoid these problems with its customers. Rest assured if they chose a format now they would lose some customers, and would especially by choosing a losing format.
