a question about bashing the other format

Just wondering what joy does one get from bashing one format? I mean whatever makes you happy, and I enjoy a good argument as much as the next guy, but some seem to BLINDLY follow one and disregard the other as junk, when in reality they are so similiar that in a blind test most of the "zealots" on both sides couldnt tell which one they were actually watching.
Any insight?

I couldn't agree more, but remember, "You can't reason with unreasonable people." Also, the fact that forums allow you to make comments you "probably" wouldn't face-to-face with another person results in some rather extreme pronouncements. I take all the comments with a grain of salt and have a good time. Life is too short to worry about bandwith 24/7. Since I would guess 99.999% of the members are male these forums are just a huge pissing contest after all.

Nah, I would say all these things IRL, In fact its created several fights in the past with friends. Especially my Sonyphile friend Charles Mynt. Me and him go rounds :p
 
Can't you just feel the love? :D :D


I won't bash BD; I don't have it; I don't know how the picture/audio/features compare. I would like both to survive since I am now buying HD DVDs. Why HD DVD? It was a more affordable starting point.
 
LOL @ You.
I don't call that subjective, people want the movies that are being released on blu-ray more than HD-DVD.
You think that subjective? Then why is BR beating HD-DVD in sales?

Look at what blu-ray got lined up: http://www.satelliteguys.us/blu-ray-forum/51494-list-blu-ray-disc-titles.html
This titles are more impressive than what HD-DVD has or ever will well at least from the studios they have.
Blu-ray has the studios, and frankly those studios have more movies that people want other than "Transformers".
BD is beating HD DVD in sales beacuse it has 4 times the players.

So you think BD has all the good movies? Check this list of movie revenues for 2007.

I still think most of the stuff you hear in this forum is about people trying to defend choices they've already made in buying one format or the other, although there are some who are "format neutral" but still have a bone to pick with the other side.

Most people mellow out considerably once they take the leap into owning both formats - there's no more pressure of trying to be on the "right" side...

That and they see they are more alike than different.

Stop using this new style of debate using what are called "facts" No one understands that here.
 
The fact is HD-DVD is losing ground to Blu-ray, thats a fact.
Vurbano :D
