I imagine that Sanjay was just as stunned as I am that someone would consider PR to be factual. Now I understand. I'm backing away slowly now. (For the record, I am leaning in favor of HD-DVD. But PR is BS).

As Sanjay has repeatedly said, the year's worth of experience was ignored. Your mentioning it again as if it was a factor is just as silly as Sanjay having to keep pointing out that it was not a factor. Enough, both of you!

And Acer just bought Gateway, so that's really two in one.

Brian, you're in the one thread that HTF allows opinion on. There's a note somewhere up top explaining that this is the place where opinions are allowed. The rest of the threads have been designated opinion-free zones.

$200 for a player is not bad, and the moment Oppo comes out with a high def player I'll be very interested, since it will also play DVDs. But the high def discs need to cost the same as the regular DVDs. Put them on sale (discount) less often if need be, but don't use the introduction of...

I'd taking the unenviable action of buying both the Blu and the HD of the Blade Runner set. That's in addition to the regular DVDs! Huge gift to Warner Bros. I can't afford to do this to any other movies -- this is an exception.

His opinion does actually count, as much as the opinion of the editor of any well attended website does, which is why Microsoft's Amir Majidimehr was immediately concerned that Hunt was reporting about the payoff, and why Hunt was invited to attend that HD-DVD showcase last month, etc. His...

You don't get how newspapers work, do you? The source is not anonymous to the reporter, he is only anonymous to the reader.

I've just gone agnostic! I've been a BluRay fan, hoping it would win, but if this war is going to continue another year then I have to say that based on the available titles in the sci-fi, adventure category, that HD-DVD may have the advantage. I still believe BluRay is the superior...

Well that's capitalism for ya!;)

Was Bill too hasty when he wrote "Microsoft has paid DreamWorks and Paramount so much money that they’ve decided to join Universal in the HD-DVD exclusive camp."? The LA Weekly article called it "the HD-DVD camp", without specifying which members of the "HD-DVD camp" dropped the loot off. If...

Because it would be really embarrassing to have the BluRay edition of Blades of Glory outsell the HD-DVD edition of Blades of Glory?

I just want to add that as much as HTF officially hates format war discussions, I love them. We're in the midst of history in the making, and I am glad that HTF did not completely ban these discussions when they reacted (IMO over-reacted) a couple weeks ago. These discussions take me all the way...

The Federal government no longer cares about vertical integration. They don't mind when a company manipulates its own related companies. But they still mind when a company tries to manipulate a wholly different company! Addendum: And that's the extent of my feeble knowledge about...

Bill Hunt tells it straight. The story -- the news story -- is the antitrust, and is appropriately placed at the head of his column. The only bit of bias is his hope that HD-DVD will still end, but, that doesn't change the fact that he recognizes what the most important part of the situation is...

Geez, Maurice, read back a page. We know it is big news, that's why a mod posted it and why we've been talking about it all morning.

On the AVS Forum, the total is placed at $150 million -- $50 million to Paramount, $100 million to Dreamworks. But we'll never know unless the government opens an investigation. That kind of money, even if given for "promotion of HD-DVD" sounds a lot like a bribe to stop supporting BluRay to me...
