I'd argue that George Lucas is totally overated as far as cinema goes. He stumbled across the early Star Wars hits, totally failed to understand their appeal, as ably demonstrated by the truly appalling prequels, relies on Spielberg for the Indy franchise and makes his money from merchandising (which was what the Star Wars prequels were really about), dodgy TV spin offs and exorbitant THX 'endorsment' licencing fees.





THX brings nothing to the table in the way of technology (unlike Dolby). It's just a self declared set of 'standards' for which you pay handsomely for licensing their logo.





Which brings us around to the Blu-ray player.


I'd like to applaud Onkyo for concentrating on the quality of video and audio reproduction which are by far the most important features to me.


However, do yourself a favour Onkyo - drop the THX badge and spend the money on adding a few extra features or dropping the price of your player.
