"While it's true that I did not check the drive of the second AR laptop, I thought both laptops were showing the same thing and saw no need to investigate the second seemingly duplicate setup. "


"Earlier today, I spoke with a Sony PR rep about what, the company says, I should have seen. According to Sony, there was a demonstration going on there and the laptop on the right-hand side had inside it a Blu-ray disc that was "not final master." I'm not sure what that would have looked like. I wish I had seen it."

Many people cannot tell the difference between HD and SD on a screen that small. The really poor part is that he is either:

#1. The worlds worst journalist by not checking the second player. He never thought anyone would realize there were 2 laptops? Maybe not by the way he wrote his article I suppose.

or

#2. Just a liar out to trash Sony.
