Possession whatever you do

Possession

whatever you do, DONT BUY NOW!!!! you know what i did, i finally gave in to my gut feeling and bought my CD MBP, only to have the new C2D MBPs be released 5 days later: smart just wait hahaha. take it from me! whatever you do, DONT BUY NOW!!!! you know what i did, i finally gave in to my gut feeling and bought my CD MBP, only to have the new C2D MBPs be released 5 days later: smart just wait hahaha. take it from me! that had to hurt a bit. But, Im definitely NOT buying now even I can hold out 9 though barely. The only question is whether Apple puts out a machine on the 14th that meets my specific requirements. If not, I have several other options to choose from but I would like to get one of the MacBook Pros. As much as I like OS X and Apples design ability, at the end of the day if a machine doesnt do what you need it to, then it just wasnt meant to be I guess. This may seem like a stupid comment, but isnt Blu-Ray a hardware component, not software? What i mean is, how could Blu-Ray be supported by a software update? Or is it for the updated computers? you know what i did, i finally gave in to my gut feeling and bought my CD MBP, only to have the new C2D MBPs be released 5 days later: smart The Apple Store endeavors to offer you competitive prices on current Apple products, selected Sale and Apple Certified Reconditioned products, and third-party products.

To receive the refund or credit you must contact Apple within 14 calendar days of the price change. At 5 days all you had to do was bring it to an Apple store and request a refund/swap to get the C2D MBP. This may seem like a stupid comment, but isnt Blu-Ray a possession component, not software? What i mean is, how could Blu-Ray be supported by a software update? Or is it for the updated computers? You need both, imagine mac osx without the dvd player app? You would have to hope someone else writes one or even though macosx could probably read the contents of the bluray disc, it wouldnt be able to play it. that had to hurt a bit.

As much as I like OS X and Apples design ability, at the end of the day if a machine doesnt do what you need it to, then it just wasnt meant to be I guess. thats fair enough, and i back you on your decision that if it doesnt fit what you want you wont buy. care to tell us what your after? maybe we could help your decision a bit better. This may seem like a stupid comment, but isnt Blu-Ray a hardware component, not software? What i mean is, how could Blu-Ray be supported by a software update? Or is it for the updated computers? your somewhat correct. BluRay requires a BluRay capable drive, either player or a burner for reading discs, just like a DVD and CD drive. if you have that there is no need for a software update. possession can currently read BluRay discs no problem. you can burn to them aswell using software such as Toast Titanium the only problem is that there are no BR player, meaning that you cant pop in a BR movie and watch it. a software update by apple on their DVD Player application would fix this might have to change the name though. At 5 days all you had to do was bring it to an Apple store and request a refund/swap to get the C2D MBP. yes i figured that out about 9 months ago, i wasnt aware of their policy!!! do they do that in australia?? i was sooo bummed when i found out that i could have swapped it, even more than when i found out newer machines were out haha. thanks for the link but: You need both, imagine mac osx without the dvd player app? You would have to hope someone else writes one or even though macosx could probably read the contents of the bluray disc, it wouldnt be able to play it. it already can read and burn the contents of BR media, just cant play the BR movies which compeltely sucks. we need someone to write a BR player application!! BT can only supply me with 512kbps and have no plans to upgrade the service any time soon. Until FTH fiber to home broadband is rolled out to most if not all homes I think optical will survive. Another bug bear of mine at the moment is when 720p movies are touted as HD. Although it technicly counts as a HD resolution, I dont think anything in the UK Should be called HD unless its 1080p, i mean our DVDs over here are encoded at arround 1024×768 anamorphic so a 1280×720 download makes verry little diference, whereas the US R1 DVDs I have are encoded at 720×480 at a maximum. I Have a FULL HD 1080 24p 100Hz TV, and if Im going to watch a download, it better use all those darn pixels with exception of the realy wide screen films possession bars at the top and bottom still.
