Re: What will YOU do with your HD DVD?

Tim, how old are you?

I'm around your age, but I had the kid when I was 30.

Can the owners/moderators of this web site start charging new users a fee to create an account, so the flamers will stop harassing the regulars here? Anyone can read the threads, but if someone has something truly worthwhile to contribute... I think a posting fee is in order!

Also... why should anyone be encouraged to get rid of movies that they own - no matter what format? There are two versions out now, of the movie "Full Metal Jacket". If you aren't that picky about the sound quality or the extras that have been added to the new mastering of it... why buy the new one (I do own the new one, BTW - it was one of my freebies)?

ScottBaio(insert incrementing number here ) said we should all get rid of our HD DVD stuff and save the environment. Wouldn't getting rid of our HD DVD stuff be doing the exact opposite? I have many movies on previous formats no longer supported. The movies still play. Granted, they aren't HD... but many are widescreen format, and until they are released in a widescreen format on DVD or blu-ray... I will keep them and continue enjoying watching them!

I suspect that SB# hasn't lived long enough to "own" anything other than the technology that's been around for the past 10 years. That's too bad. I've owned EVERY video format that ever came out (except for Beta). At least the quality of HD DVD will last the lifetime of blu-ray. I'll also own the technology that makes blu-ray (and HD DVD) obsolete, so no one ever really has the last laugh. Technology is ALWAYS advancing!

(Tim) is this you:

Nope, not even close. Most of my friends always tell me I look like -- or remind them of:



I used to do a good impersonation of Sam, but getting older I just can't "yell" like he did anymore.

Do you think size matters?

Well, as I've said before ( ** REPEAT ALERT ** ):

"It isn't the size mate . . . it's how you use it."

Partially true.

Size matters, but so does how you use it.

My observation was that the fanboys treat it like a RELIGION! I could care less which one is inferior or superior, as I've stated several times over the years that I own neither format. I've waited all this time for this entire mess to be over with and spent not one dime on supporting it. I have nothing to lose nor do I have anything to gain by responding to these threads. I don't need to explain anything to you when there are hundreds of threads dedicated to your precious format war. I mean, come on, let's be honest, you guys had to figure a guy like Scotty was going to come in here and heckle the hell out of you. From what I can tell, he's been kicked off twice already, and as he should be, but I have to agree you HD DVD guys -- AND BLU GUYS -- treat this whole entire subject as a religion.

If your observation was that fanboys treat it like a religion, then maybe you should have just quoted that part and not included the inferior format section of the post.

You're right, you don't have to explain anything to me. I already know. I was not demanding anything, just asking for your opinion on why you thought HD-DVD was inferior. I actually come here to hear educated opinions. I thought that was what this board was for? I guess I was just a little disappointed that you would acknowledge anything SB would have to say as credible.

Scott is a douche.

Ok, broken record time: with all the problems that plague the world on a global level you guys actually take a simple disc player more serious than, say, famine. So yes, I find all your knee-jerk reactions to Scotty funny because I realize there are REAL issues in the world that are far more important than a troll getting under your skin.

This is a message board about "simple little disc players" and movies and such. Not about famine or other REAL issues. Why would we be talking about those things here? Especially with people on the same maturity level as SB. Who said he's getting under my skin? Trust me, it takes alot more than anything SB could ever come up with. I think most people here would rather not see inflamatory posts that you find humorous. I mean, who can't say "stop crying" over and over again. Wow, that is really funny.

I still find it curious that you accuse posters like me as taking this too seriously and then turn around and say that you find SB "entertaining", whenhe obviously has more invested in posting on this board than anyone who responds to him. Not to mention SB has been consistently losing the insult war. His posts aren't nearly as funny as the responses he's been getting. Oh well, as you said yourself, I guess its just the level of your maturity.
