I think you missed it when I said:
What makes you think I’m upset about Blu winning? Didn’t you see my post where I said:
I agree with you that some people struggle with the fact that HD DVD lost. However I’m not one of them due to my investment in HD DVD being under $200.
Once again. I don’t mind the post as it is a good article to read. I just think your delivery was in very poor taste. I know you have great skills using a dictionary so you might want to look up the word tact. I think your posts would be more welcomed and wanted by people on this forum if you didn’t post them with such malice.
I think you’re under the impression I’m attacking you. In reality, I’m just trying to help you out as your posts tend to aggravate the other users on this board, which I don’t think really benefits the messageboard at all.
I do appreciate you sharing the article though. I think it’s more than fair to say that announcement from Toshiba should be coming this week.

I think everyone agrees with you that Blu Ray won and were happy you feel like you made the right decision. It's decision that was only a few hundred bucks. What's it really matter.

Thanks. You're right. I originally posted that sarcastically, but it blew way out of proportion.
(btw I was very upset when WB made their move, but I reacted and opted out on 1/5)

I have to laugh. Blu Ray movies are affordable. Just don't buy RETAIL. J&R has movies for $11.99 and $15.99. I buy most BR movies on half.com and amazon.com shops. I got Spiderman Trilogy for $28.00 delivered, and Cars for $16.50 delivered. I bought all my Harry Potter BR movies (1-4 for $9.98 EACH $[19.99 BOGOFREE]) Harry Potter 5 for $17 Delivered.
So to say that they are not affordable, you may be right. The places that you are shopping is wrong.
I bought most of my HD-DVD titles at $15 or less. Some at $18 and just one at $32 (hey, it was my first HD movie). I'm just wondering where NPD gets there numbers from, since they say they don't count Amazon, there must be a lot of people out there spending good money on BR movies.
BR titles were really no more expensive than HD-DVD ones, but I do believe that there won't be as many BOGOs as before.
As I have stated before, I don't care about which company makes which product, I judge price and quality for the dollar. HD-DVD wins, hands down. I know that nobody is forcing me to buy BR, but I do believe that HD lovers (such as myself) are being given only one option when it comes to players, and that is the PS3. That is the major thing that has kept me from embracing the format.
Why am I hating on the PS3? Just go to the official PS3 forums and read about the different problems that ACTUAL PS3 owners are experiencing. Freezing, disc errors, flashing lights (RROD jr) - and these problems are erratic, so it doesn't matter how old your system is. So you've had no problems, you're PS3 is immune, right? Don't hold your breath. If you ever experience any problems with your PS3 (VideoCipher has already suffered this fate), you'll understand what I've been trying to avoid.
