Page 1 of HARDWARE FORUM IS IT FOR scan OWNERS ONLY!!!!!

Well we know they have more problems then most, but I realy think they should have there own forum .

It could be called the Bolton breakdown forum!

So give other owners there Hardware forum back scan owners and take your firmware problems some where else!

Now Now Bear, you promised to be a good boy!!

But valid point...seems like every 2nd posting nowadays is from a Scan owner asking about firmware etc.

How about it Sheppers? Scan are a sponsor, how about giving them a forum of their own?

Would save Nelly heaps of time looking through threads....

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!!

If scan were given their own forum i`ll bet bear would still insist on ruining threads that dont concern him.

I am the first to admit that scan have alot of threads but that dosent mean people cant start their own threads too.

Xeno

up the irons!!!!!!!!!!

For once, I tend to agree with bear. Having got what I consider to be a good Scan player, I am resisting the temptation to upgrade from my 2.08 until long filenames come about as I really do believe that there`s not enough testing of thse releases going on prior to making them available.

Whilst I would, selfishly, welcome a separate forum for Scan users and/or Scan firmware updates/problems etc., I think that this should probably be part of the Scan site rather than the DVD Reviewer site as there could just as easily be a Pioneer forum etc etc.

Maybe a generic Firmware forum might be a compromise as that would seem to narrow it down pretty much to Scan users at the moment anyhow;-)

The real concern though, in the event that this came about, is what is going to happen to bear? The Scan threads are obviously giving him some sense of purpose. Without any reason to be bothered by Scan posts anymore, there may be some serious consequences which need to be taken into account.

Perhaps it could be generally agreed that some limited periodic access could be tolerated, or even encouraged, each month so that bear could release any pent up anguish and go on a Scan forum posting splurge, rather like a supermarket trolley dash.

It might even be something to look forward to for Scan users as well, as they come to terms with the loss of those timely and yet almost unexpected gems of humerous wisdom which are playfully peppered around the threads.

In any event, it would be sort of nice if people`s right to go out and buy a cr*p piece of equipment (cheap or otherwise) was respected a little more as I am sure that we all have carried out our own research into price, performance, features etc that are most appropriate to ourselves and gone out and bought, for better or for worse, a dvd player. It is then most likely useful to newcomers to these forums if the actual experience of owning that paticular player is passed on in some meaningful way.

Or then again.......

Or then again.......

Post in the "bargain bucket section" Its no bargain but it`s certainly a bucket!

ROFLMAO VIOLENTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

you da man bear!

Sadly, that just about sums it up.

and a Bear forum would be useful - somewhere to post his irrelevant comments - but would it be big enough?
