    Panasonic reveals its new 2.0 player for $700!!!!!!!!

    For this price, they should have put DVD-Audio back into the machine (as it was in the "10"). Throw in SACD and you have a winner. Looks like we'll have to see if Denon ever comes out with a true "universal player", but with their economic situation - don't hold your breath.

    HD DVD Still NOT DEAD!!!

    I wonder if they're obligated to actually release product, or they're obligated to release in HD-DVD IF they release any HD products. They could just not release anything in HD until their window of exclusivity has expired.

    I've Been Banned

    Keep spewing your "Blu Elite" crap over where they care. And it's "you're ignored", not "Your ignored". He's called vurbano, not ignored.

    I've Been Banned

    You Blu-Ray elitists need to lighten up. You won, or actually Sony won. You bought a box.

    Should we do this???

    Oooooooooooo. That's a bad ass moderator! Like losing the right to post is some huge deal. Who wants to belong to a site like that?

    I've Been Banned

    I've notice that over at the BluRay.com forum, if you say ANYTHING positive about HD-DVD you are chastised and then ostracized. If you continue, you are banned. Even if you had Blu to begin with and then bought an HD-DVD player, you are treated like an outcast. It's really funny when you...

    Microsoft (MSFT) XBox To Be Damaged By Death Of HD DVD

    People bought the XBOX 360 as a video game. People bought the Wii as a video game. The PS2 still outsells the PS3 buy a lot (1.5 million). I don't think that those looking for "good games" really give a crap about HD video. We do here, they don't.

    Why Toshiba quit

    Good points. Sony was NOT going to have another Beta, and when Paramount and Universal went HD-DVD only, they went to the mattress and for the kill - and did it. The funny thing is that had Paramount and Universal gone dual format, it actually may have been better for HD-DVD. Go figure!

    Toshiba to drop HD DVD, sources say

    The sad part in all of this is that the decision should have been made BEFORE Christmas, thus keeping so many folks who don't read forums or trade papers from buying HD-DVD players. Toshiba took a shot, but was stabbed in the back and in the long run the losers are the people who bought the...

    Toshiba readying a BD player?

    Why does every bit of HD Disc news have to turn into a "You Lose, We Win" deal? After preaching that one format is better than two, and that we're close to achieving that, especially if Toshiba caves, why chime in with taunts? All it serves to do is create more back and forths.......

    Circuit City to back HD DVD

    Of course you're right. They've all been sent back to Toshiba, and everyone who bought them originally have returned them for sony blu-ray players. New customers are avoiding them because the format is dead and buried. Circuit City wants no part of them. That's it! OK? :tux:

    Stick a fork in HD-DVD. It's time to end the format war.

    IMHO, he loses a lot of credibility with such a slanted viewpoint. Before this "war" mentality, he always seemed like such a rational guy. If it's indeed true that it's all because Toshiba would not give him a free player than it's a shame. That's not "objective journalism".

    Circuit City to back HD DVD

    Um, maybe because people are BUYING them???? :rolleyes:

    Stick a fork in HD-DVD. It's time to end the format war.

    The best way for the BD folks to end this war is to have the BD studios release a flood of great, highly desirable titles that will get folks out to the store to buy a player or PS3. Quite frankly, the releases from both sides have been a bit lackluster lately....

    Compare the Toshiba and Sony Ads for HiDef

    Both formats need more ads. People need to know about these formats, not just "us", if we're going to get a steady flow of titles, from either Blu or Red.

    Did ya see the Toshiba Superbowl add. Should sell plenty of players!!!

    17 of the 62 posts in this thread are by him. He would have a lot more credibility if he would state his point and move on. Being antagonistic only makes you look bad. What good does it do to have a high post count when the post quality is poor? Back on topic (!) :D , I just went through my...

    I don't think my station showed it either. They must be "Blu-Biased"! :D (j/k)

    Toshiba Goes Ahead With Its HD DVD Plans...

    I agree. It's childish. I don't like a lot of the things Sony has done, but that doesn't mean I won't buy things from them. I prefer the Panasonic BD players. So? Doesn't mean I won't buy a Sony released disc. That's just stupid.

    Toshiba Goes Ahead With Its HD DVD Plans...

    Look, your points are valid (did I really say that? :D) The problem is that, just like a song that gets played too much, when you say them over and over and over......., it only irritates those that may not feel the same way, won't admit that they feel the same way, or get tired of the patterns...

    Toshiba Goes Ahead With Its HD DVD Plans...

    This really bothers you, doesn't it? Why should you care? More than likely, HD-DVD will "go away". You will revel in that fact. So? :rolleyes:

    HD-DVD sales back up to 35% in the 3rd week of January

    Every thread about anything HD-DVD has the same old posts from the same old BD-only fanboys. How predictable. We get your point(s). :(
