You can now post that you have 10,999 members. That was uncalled for. To question someones information on something like this is one thing - but to drop to these immature rants is what lowers your credibility further than the sales person at BB.

Edit: Nevermind - You said "won't" - I misread that. I'll leave my logic though so its captured for posterity :) Why would you argue with including the RSNs? When the new sat goes live, the RSNs go national. Once the RSNs are national you can get them via the Sports Pack - no different than...

Not sure the history, but given the same press report lists total sales at 2.2 million BR and 1.5 million HD-DVD I'm not sure how someone would arrive at 3 to 1 unless they did a week or month comparison - not a longer term comparison. The math would be impossible. With that said, I think...

Home Media Research: Blu-Ray title sales beat HD-DVD 2 to 1 in 1st half.

This is not true. Unless somehow you have secret information that has not been released (not likely if its being pushed around internally at D*) or you got bad information. As of 8PM Eastern last night one of the launch engineers from the facility posted the latest update (on another site)...

I agree Sco. I can always tell which site I am on by the target of the majority of the snide comments. Its done by both users and admins on both sites. If I wanna know something about Dish - I come here. If I wanna know something about DirecTV - I go there. Chris

I find the comments about extorsion and overcharging and others to be interesting. The fact of the matter is it isn't extorsion by any stretch. MLB has a product that people apparently want. They had a television agreement that expired. Their peer/competitor (NFL) has this nifty little...

Actually, 18% less than 294,000 is 241,000 - and the official NPD data for Jan2007 is 244,000 PS3s. Soooo... in other words its about a wash. Why? Well, one can say MSFT would have sold more consoles if they had more manufactured - but you are also comparing a $299/$399 console to a...

I think there may be overestimation of the console selling power of Halo. It worked great for the original Xbox which was an unknown entity until Halo. But how many Halo fans are out there that are waiting 2 years to buy a next-gen console simply because Halo 3 isn't out? And how many...

It became whinning when it was obvious they weren't gonna let it go AFTER the game was given to FLA. It was campaigning BEFORE the game was announced. Regarding Urban's change of opinion - Jimbo is right, but the reason is well documented. He got to the SEC, realized how difficult the...

Oh don't worry. A month of Meyer's coaching and a 13 game SEC season under their belt- I'm guessing that Tebow's range of plays expands, along with Harvin and Fayson. Also, Wynn will be healthy, along with a coached up young offensive line. The 2 QB system works well - when it is used to...

This cracks me up. First - they won. 2nd - you pointed out rivals which as USC can tell you can be very tough. FLA has a lot of rivals - don't put too much on the score. Second - Michigan barely escaped Penn State, BALL STATE??, a mediocre Minnesota by only 14, put up a grand 17 points on...

Florida by 10: 34-24 Why? Urban Meyer, Freshman, Health. Urban Meyer is a tactical genius - he finds ways for his players to win. If they don't win, its because they failed to execute, but he put them in the position to win. Second - see #1. Urban played more freshman than any other...

No - but he is a Volunteer :) Go Gators!
