Then it would have been the same in the group of HD DVD fanboys (or less than that) too. That wasn't Tim's point. Cees

Then they're either lying or are facing a "cat out of the bag" problem. It's not us, the consumers who started or are maintaining this "war". Nor the government or any other party. It's "the industry" themselves (whatever that may mean) who started this whole situation. And it's the same...

That's very true. Cees

And Warner is "akin to betrayal" and "choosing sides" (how bad!), while most of the studios aren't even releasing anything on one of the formats (and many not very much on the other, BTW). Some logic here. Cees

Whatever we think about the product as such, and whatever the end-result will be (including price, etc.), they seem determined to contribute their part to ending the format war. For that alone I give them a big :emoji_thumbsup: ! Cees

Good point. Sometimes we tend to forget about that. We shouldn't. Cees

Ha, David. Do great minds think basically alike after all - and at the same time? :laugh: Cees

Hmm. But you might consider buying the other format in the future (for whatever reason), when your player wears out. And this might assure you that you don't have to choose the same format player anew just to keep your collection playable. I also think that HD DVD and BD can offer exactly...
