Couldn't prove it by the number of ads for HD-DVD I saw today in the
Sunday paper ads from places like Best Buy, Circuit City and others..
More than for Blu-ray.



That is right. Just like when any product is about to go away. They try
to sell as many as they can so they don't have to eat the cost.

................
Companies say this. Companies go for that. It does not mean a thing what
companies want and do. It's what the customers do. I have tried High Def
films now. I have some. I have made a shelf for them. But that is all. It
is the film that matters. The difference on a 42" screen is not enormous,
as the films are scanned from old 35 mm copies.
Upscaled DVD's can be quite excellent too.
I shall go for the film itself first of all. HD-DVD or Blu-Ray will weigh
less on the scales of decission for me. The only High Def material that
will count significantly is documentaries from "Mother Earth."

I wonder what they will say when new discs
will not work in first and second
generation players that cannot be upgraded?

The **** that will hit the fan will not be pretty.

Jesus FUKIN CHRIST!!!!!!

What FUKING Difference does it make in the lives of you poor people WHICH
FUKING FORMAT people buy???
What the ****?? is WRONG with half of you?????

I read this newsgroup and I see the SAME grown(?) men arguing DAILY over
the SAME RIDICULOUS UNCONTROLLABLE PETTY ****!!!!!

Get a fukin life people!!!!

==========================
You misundertand me.

I own NEITHER format!
I think the fanbois for either format are inane.
I was merely pointing out the fact that BD players
may not play future discs.

On the rest, I agree with you.

They will, as has been stated many times before. Just the bonus material
will not work.

Here's the money shot...

"....Blu-ray owners can continue to do everything they could in the
beginning: watch movies in high-definition."

I don't care about the interactive crapola, or copying anything, or a
lot of the other fluff I've been hearing about a 2.0 profile - I just
wanna watch the effing movie in HD.

Then you need to contact the BDA group and tell them they don't know what
they are talking about. Or is it possible that you are mistaken?

More likely you can not read. Please quote where it says the movie will
not play. Whereas many other articles all state the movie will play, you
just can not use the bonus features.
