There's a very large difference between disagreeing with someone, which means that I should expect posts filled with rebuttals and counterarguements, and attacking someone every chance one gets, which is what some parties have been doing. There's not a rebuttal anywhere in the post I quoted, and...

He did not say... "If this doesn't sway your opinion you're a critical HD-DVD enthusiast" as you twist his words to sound. You've been on a mission attacking Bill since he declared TDB as BR-centric. You seriously need to get off his back, his site is BR-centric, which by definition...

I'm kind of confused here, could you elaborate for me? You seem to be indicating that the numbers Sony releases is misleading, and that they don't possess the sales advantage they claim, but then close by expressing that PS3 is selling BR Discs which IMO supports Sony's claims. Or are you...

Slightly off-topic. Actually two things happen, both of them are attributable to the CPU/GPU. The heat from the CPU/GPU causes the tray to slightly warp, throwing off the spin of the disc, and resulting in bad reads or scratched discs as far as I can tell. Newer consoles, if you pay...

Not necessarily. They don't have to match DVD's prices, just the "Consumer's acceptable price". Neither CD nor DVD matched it's predecessor's price when it started to take off, it just hit a level of pricing that was acceptable to the masses. Which, if history is a predictor of future events...

IMO, this is an important factor, but not for that reason, and may never be actualized. IMO it's important because it's a major factor for the PC Industry. With 1 terrabyte drives now available, the space difference between HD-DVD and BR is important, and the PC Industry has a much higher...

I'm not convinced this is MS. As I've covered in other threads, MS really doesn't have any significant financial stake in this. MS's future is purely Digital Downloads, and they have no studios, no movies they own. Outside of tanking the PS3 they don't gain anything from pushing one format...

There's really no reason why they won't come down fairly quickly, excepting greedy patent holders on Sony/Tosh's ends. There's already silicon in production that can handle BR and HD-DVD on a single chip, so no need for multiple chips, so no increase in cost there. Someone odd, a major tech...

I dunno, now the NY Times is reporting 150 million for 18 months of exclusivity. MS denies involvment, though I'm still firmly in the "MS has a plan" camp. As far as Bill Hunt goes, he's made his personal choice and IMO people really need to lay off him, unless everyone carrying a flag for...

I think that for the most part the problem is two-fold. 1. Both of the formats are technically viable, unlike Divx which was a clear loser, and no one wants to be holding the short straw. 2. A number of events since DVD in many different markets have given people the impression that he who...

Well, It looks like DarkHorizions weighed in today on the topic. Their vote? Go Neutral if you want in, neither's really got a major end-product advantage, and HD will be today's Laserdisc. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070809a.php I personally disagree with him, I seriously...
