Wow I wasn't aware this was affecting you so much and on such a personal level.

My condolensces and I do hope things get better for you as it seems this format war has affected you a lot more than others.

Because the economies of scale and the barriers to entry should soon help push prices down, I guess I am okay with one format, even if that means Blu Ray.

But, I do think the wording in your title was a little too "Nyah, nyah, HA HA" to be in good taste.

Can I suggest Blu fans be a touch more gracious?

are they capable of that? I think "gracious" is a foreign word to many of them

I guess some people are too immature to understand the difference between speaking figuratively and literally. Perhaps you need to go back to remedial reading and remedial English class at your local junior college to find out that words are not always literal.

For you two short-bus taking individuals:
fig•ur•a•tive
–adjective
1. of the nature of or involving a figure of speech, esp. a metaphor metaphorical not literal: a figurative expression.

lit•er•al•ly
–adverb
1. in the literal or strict sense: What does the word mean literally?

Get a life and stop being a bunch of neanderthals --- o wait for you remedial learners –

Ne•an•der•thal
–noun

(often lowercase ) Informal.
a. an unenlightened or ignorant person barbarian.

I'd rather be alone in the fight, then "follow" everyone down the wrong path. But if Bowfiend needs this to feel good about himself, then he needs pity more than he needs any more "good news".

Only good news about this is that 1/2 of the users on this site will stop posting because they wont have anything to argue about

and another won't ever shut up about the "winning" format.

You know, I didnt know this was an actual war. Like, people are having victory parties over it. These are corporations, they don't care about us, why do we care who succeeds? OMG, I PICKED TEH WINNARH! I'M THE BESTEST! Congrats. You won the right to....um, buy stuff? I never got it.

I thought there was "NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. Discuss the content of a post. Do not attack the poster. This includes name-calling." I guess that doesn't apply if you're a "winner". Bowfiend you just keep hiding behind your computer and calling people idiots and losers. I'm glad that you have at least one outlet in life where you can feel superior.

Bowfiend, I just finished ordering Justice League - The New Frontier and Appleseed Ex Machina (both HD DVD's) an Amazon. I hope that doesn't upset you too much. If I Am Legend does make it on HD DVD I will buy that also but if it doesn't life will go on, it always does.

Bowfiend - Once again your post and comeback is so enlightning. You do such a good job at making Blu supporters look foolish. It is funny how you're so courageous to post personal attacks against people on a message board for their constructive criticism on your posts.

Also nice of you to bash people that have to ride the short bus. Let's make fun of kids who were born into this world with less chance of succeding then the average person. One can only hope you never have a special needs child in your family. But if you did I guess some would just call it karma. (FYI- I have no kids, but I'm intelligent enough to know that what you wrote makes you look extremely stupid and childish.) Then again I'm not sure why I'm wasting my time with this as everyone else on this post is bashing you for being a loser as well.


Don't you have some City of Heroes to play? Than you can quit wasting peoples time that actually have constructive and worthwhile things to say on these boards.
