    Mark, Excellent post sans the mentioning of that other forum. With the amazing quality of Hi-Def (and truly, it makes watching films more like watching a film) I can't understand why people make such a fuss over a $200 price tag and the fact that they may be buying into a format that...

    Just a warning...... Keep the debate polite. No need to bring politics and references to military conflicts into a forum that forbids such discussion. Stick to the facts and be civil to each other, please.

    Paul, Hit the nail on the head. No format war? The studios would not be falling over themselves to flood the market with titles as they are now. You guys have to see the bright lining here.

    There may be some flaws in my theory, but I look at it like this... Does anybody think about how much money the hardware companies are losing right now in an effort to undercut each other? Look how much money the studios are wasting away in an effort to convince the public why their...

    Yuh know, John.... I respect your decision to stay on the sidelines. It's a wise choice. The only downside is that you are going to be sitting on those sidelines for quite some time because there is no end to this war in site. As long as you are content with your upscaled DVDs you will be...

    Neil, Excellent post! I also agree that it may not be realized by most as of yet, but this move will most likely result in more studios going neutral by this time 2008. And for all the slamming being done about HD-DVD tactics, let's not forget that it was Sony who started this "all...

    All I have to say at this point regarding the latest developments with Paramount and DreamWorks is that I am very happy that Home Theater Forum has remained neutral in this format war. We didn't race to pick a side because from the start, we knew that this war was not even close to being...

    Andrew, Another good point. Consumers aren't racing out to embrace these formats and will probably not do so until price gets to be the same as a DVD player. Even then, it's going to take several years before either of these formats begin to really penetrate the market the way DVD has...

    Gawd, I hate it when quotes like that are dragged up. I'm not ashamed at what I said, but the problem is that a statement like that will be posted elsewhere and taken out of context. So, if you are going to quote me, be sure to quote this ENTIRE post. I have never been a HD-DVD shill. It...

    Hartwig, I'll gladly offer up an apology to you if your words were not meant to question the integrity of our video. I am rereading your post and the very first paragraph mentions the missing frames and then goes on to say that it looks like Ben Williams was right. It's very...

    Your response has made me quite angry. For you to come on this forum and accuse us of wrongly misrepresenting a video presentation and letting a staff member go under false pretenses is an insult of the highest order. I am the guy that videotaped that entire event. As noted on the...
