You showed them!

Big Bang 2 is supposed to give some nice improvements, including dual monitor support with SLI.

I tend to be skeptical of drivers claiming a massive performance boost... especially when the claim is made by some poster on a forum.

Research finds that people still heart physical discs, greatly prefer Blu-ray to streaming

Yeah, while streaming of HD content might work in europe or asia where most people have a really fast broadband connection, there is still a lot of people in the USA who either are on dial up or a slow broadband connection that isnt really fast enough to stream HD.

Not to mention the utterly awful sound compared to lossless surround.

Most people who make the OP's claim tend to be unhappy HD-DVD buyers continuing the battle long after it's lost. Blu-Ray won, guys. Get over it.
