Shouldn't Hi-Def have High Definition as it's first objective? What sense does it make to release a title that was transferred to disc at a lower bit-rate than the theatrical release, just so you can add a making-of feature?


anyone else think theres something wrong with this? )

Actually, no. It makes perfect sense. The real question is how could you not understand it?

And before you go off on a smear campaign over what James wrote I will remind you that he has been a well respect writer for DVDTOWN for many years. Therefore, I will back his word over any issue a fanboy would choose to take up with him. If you have an issue with James, then you have one with me.

Best of luck.

We weren't smearing his article. We know he is a respected writer, and has been around here for a while. We just had a problem with the "facts" that Sony provided as BD benefits.

"200+ BD supporters versus a handful of HD supporters" <-- that's what I call embellishing. Now if you can't see that, then maybe you are the fanboy.

you would probably see the reverse in any HD-DVD conference. 200+ HD supporters and handful of BD supporters..nothing to worry about. I have high respect for James P and his views. I am with him on this.

Probably? We don't know that for sure. But what we do know is that Sony does like to fudge numbers by counting "free" movies as a unit. It's in their nature.

I think Toshiba does the same too.. 5 free movies for almost 18 months now plus other free hd-dvds occassionally.. don't for a minute think that HD-DVD camp does not fudge numbers.. This free stuff has to go somewhere.. Both camps are culprits .. take the sales data with a grain of salt.

Funny how fanboys will say anything to make them feel better.

rpruthee, we've already seen that Best Buy receipts count the "free" BD from BOGO as not free, but both discs as 50 percent off. Therefore, that would count as a sales unit for each.

Show me some proof on HD side, and then maybe I'd agree with you. But for now, I can't because I haven't seen anything like that on that side. If it was true, then HD would obviously have bypassed BD right now with all the free movies.

Oh, and one more thing Tim:

Fan-boy [fan-boi] -noun

1. A person with a limited vocabulary.
2. Someone who's only goal in life is to call other people fanboys repeatedly.
3. Tim Raynor.
