You are one ill informed and brainwashed M$AVS’er. I’ll bet you have a poster of the amir mohammad on your wall. XBOX 360 perhaps? Everything you think technically is wrong... but M$AVS, as solely owned subsidiary of micro satan, spreader of lies and deceit... controls your horizontal and your vertical... they have assumed control. HD DUD fanbois calling others cheerleaders... leftist projection technique... are you certain you didn’t get FR and the du mixed up.
M$AVS started it’s downhill slide over three years ago. I have never been antagonistic on M$AVS. I have been a member since 1999... how long have you been a member? I was a supporting member too... until M$ made my money unnecessary... M$ and amir mohammad are the responsible parties... them and people like you... yapping yard dogs schilling for Toshiba and M$. Well BR did not have to PAY Paramount 150 Million Dollars for 6 months of unique support... 5 catalog titles and a crippled Transformers!

Your statement on bandwidth shows you know NOTHING! Get off WIDE BANDWIDTH DSL OR CABLE... and go back to a narrow bandwidth of 56k dialup. It makes no difference! What unmitigated BS. CEE YA! HD DUD is losing now... it will be gone in the next 24 months... dead as Divx!

LLS

BTW... How do Spiderman 1, 2, and 3 look on HD DVD? Oh yeah... that is another deadly weakness of HD DVD... No Snow White... No Mickey Mouse... at least you do have Transformers to watch... but then it is a truncated offering... but you can buy Transformer marketed products online with that nifty interactivity thing.

I hope you enjoy surprises... I think you will be surprised by this time next year. We will have to wait and see.

Read the hysterical rantings above.

These unfortunately are typical of what is known as a FANBOY (of a particular game system or High Def Movie Format).

These hysterical rantings are usually made by teen-age boys. They repeat half truths as fact, take pieces of technical knowledge know by everyone and extrapolate them into modern myth.

They don’t know the difference between business and bribery and if you don’t agreee with them they will call YOU a fanboy, even if you own the same system they do! I like my blu-ray player, AND my HD-DVD player.

Look how hysterical this TYPICAL FANBOY is that I don’t worship the blu-ray format exclusively like him, it’s IRRATIONAL.

Because I don’t worship blu-ray exclusively like him, I worship “MicroSatan” (never mind I have all apple gear, I guess I’m a hippie). I’ve recommended the ps3 as a blu-ray player many times on this thread, BUT, since I don’t worship it exclusively like him I must have a poster of a microsoft PROGRAMMER on my wall!!! Totally irrational.

MicroSatan controls my “vertical” and “horizontal” and I’m a “cheerleader” for HD-DVD even though I own and like blu-ray as well as HD-DVD.

Cheerleading fanboy says that the HD-DVD exclusive release of Transformers is “crippled” because it doesn’t have a True-HD soundtrack, it has a Dolby Digital Plus soundtrack which most everyone has actually been blown away by, but it’s “crippled”. Total Fanatacism

I own BOTH formats, he owns ONE, it’s not good enough that I own and enjoy the format he ADORES. Since I bought the other HD Format as well for my 60 and 55 inch TV’s to enjoy EVERY HD MOVIE AVAILABLE, I am “brainwashed” by microsoft.

If microsoft brainwashed me, why did they let me buy a blu-ray player too? Why didn’t they turn me into a frothing at the mouth lunatic defender of HD-DVD?

Who brainwashed LibLieSlayer into being a frothing at the mouth lunatic who must promote Blu-Ray at every opportunity?

The above post is a case study in fanboy behaviour, here are some indicators when the person is a fanatic.

The use of fanbois, this is a stylish way for true fanboys to insult each other.

Microsoft as Satan (Microsatan), wholly evident.

The accusation that the OTHER guy is a pawn!

Wild, ridiculous claims. (rampant)

The fanboy is usually between 13-23 (any older is a tragedy) and reading their rantings will provide hours of amusement if you know what you’re looking for.

Most (not all, both sides have them) are blu-ray fanboys because the PS3 can play blu-rays, so they have a blu-ray player and probably can’t afford to buy an HD-DVD player or their parents wont let them have one.

If the fanboy is an adult, this is a case of “Star Wars” syndrome, a new obsession to geek over and forget that there are women on the planet.

Do not let the fan boy stop you from buying either/both a blu-ray player or an HD-DVD player, they are both great Hi-Def movie formats as MOST EVERY RATIONAL person agrees.

You can’t go wrong with either, I suggest you buy both.

You are one sick person... You write me in private FReepmail and use the F-bomb... and in it you call me an asshole and more... which mods deleted... and you open a post in this thread telling me to die... and it was deleted... and you continue to rant like a lunatic. You are the irrational person ranting and raving and wishing that those that disagree with you to “die”. I have not attacked you personally, much less used language and wishes that are plain evil. I suggest you quit posting to me and find someone that enjoys debating on an 8th grade level.

LOL Guys! Simmer down. It’s only a stupid high-def DVD format.

The truth is that both sides, Microsoft and Sony, have long histories of trying to create proprietary formats to increase profit margins, with little thought to what’s best for the consumer. For example, MS with its video/audio formats when and Sony with its range of flash memory formats. I refuse to buy anything with a Memory Stick since there was never any technical need for Sony to go with a new type of flash card given the standards already available. Neither company is particularly altruistic when it comes to standards.

Inn the long run there will be many players on the market that will be able to handle both formats, so neither is likely to be obsolete within the next few years and, by then, not doubt the next latest and greatest format will be on the market which supersedes them both, or we’ll just be streaming HD-DIVX off the internet on to the 20TB hard disks in our hi-def media centers.
