Comments on: Samsung 3D Blu-rays don’t work? http://hollywoodinhidef.com/2010/03/samsung-3d-blu-rays-dont-work/ Blu-ray, high definition, 3D news from Hollywood Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:49:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Just Some Guy http://hollywoodinhidef.com/2010/03/samsung-3d-blu-rays-dont-work/comment-page-1/#comment-2458 Just Some Guy Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:13:06 +0000 http://hollywoodinhidef.com/?p=1387#comment-2458 Am I the only one that noticed the contradictions in this article? It first states that the Samsung 3D players being sold before certification do not work. Then there is an update that they're now certified and suddenly those shipped prior to certification work fine. Sounds to me like Samsung isn't the issue but rather the tips from these "industry insiders." Perhaps the 3D BluRays they were testing were not the revised industry standard slated for release but rather than double check their own ignorance they assumed it was Samsung who screwed up.... I mean.... after all, they did release their BluRay players a bit premature. In the end, me thinks this is just another case of Politics. If I may be so obliged to speculate my own theory: 1) Samsung jumps the gun by prematurely releasing their 3D BluRay Players w/o "paying" for the proper certification/license. 2) "Industry Insiders" release an informative tip to the media that Samsung 3D BluRay Players do not work and may need to be recalled (i.e. bad press). 3) Samsung pays for the certification/license. 4) Statement is released stating Samsung 3D BluRay Players work fine. ;) Am I the only one that noticed the contradictions in this article?

They think they are smarter than everyone else but watch their oval little heads spin when they get a breach of contract lawsuit against them for releasing players prior to having them verified - which I understand includes an injunctive relief provision, e.g. they can't sell players if they are non-compliant. Like that Samsung - you've just been HAMMERED!! Fucking A-holes at Samsung.

"They care more about being first than being good. Stupid." But... everyone's releasing 3D stuff at the same time!
