Is this a crack at Ice?
Actually the OP Joe, I give Ice enough of a hard time, To bust him for this would be...
well, just wrong.
Any comments by HD DVD fanboys at this point could only be for the sake of nostalgia as in "Gee, wasn't HD DVD great!" "Wasn't that format war fun!"

This will be true only if/when BD at least matches the regular DVD market avoiding the fate of SACD/DVD-A/LD/D-VHS/etc.
Otherwise BD fanboys would have to join the HD in their nostalgic thoughts...
Diogen.
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.......

Well if the format war is with the DVD format they win but if it is between the competing High Def formats that is another matter.
But personally I don't think that is over just yet. Soon maybe but not yet. But we might as well get a chuckle out of it while it lasts.
Toshiba may have tipped their hand at CES by coming out with their super duper upconverting DVD player. I think they'll go in that direction instead of getting in bed with BD and having to deal with negotiating with hard feelings on both sides. After all this will last no where near as long as DVD with downloading soon to arrive.
Toshiba low prices is their attempt to win the format war. If they joined BD your theory would not apply.
I also have to call you on the advantages of BD and not for the sake of discussion.
Yeah way not to choke against the patriots!
I assume then you are a Giants fan, and are therefore in a position to make that kind of remark.

Actually my team is the 2nd strongest in the League. We held up everyone else besides the Dolphins.
It'll be here sooner then you think. Much faster then it took DVD to pass to torch to hi-def. Oh by the way DVD is still 98%.
My connection with Cablevision is 12MB and I live in an appartment complex. Friend a few blocks away gets 15MB. I can order thier Boost service and get up to 30 MB. Next town over has Verizon Fios with fiber to the home. ISP's are getting their acts together.
You say that as if you have insider information to know what Toshiba's profit margin was. I highly doubt that. Regardless of what their reason was for charging lower prices, you cannot argue that they were not able to deliver them. They did.
No problem, and no need to discuss. If you think BR is better, then it probably is for you. That does not mean it is necessarily better for me or anyone else. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion based on their personal wants and needs.
