Re: Does your significant other enjoy Blu-ray/HDDVD as much as you?

MasterScott I think you need a new girlfriend or screen name because it's clear your not the Master at the house

I'm in the same boat my wife doesn't care and it takes an act of congress for me to get something new.. I feel kinda like the chase commercial where the wife says I think your right we do need a new television.

My GF notices the difference but she says it'sreally not that big. She thinks DVD's look and sound good enough.

Time for you to replace that GF falcon and master!

And don't you dare tell me you're living in sin like Jason is.

Skyhawk,

Something tells me nearly everyone here who references a girlfriend (not a wife) is living in sin. Premarital sex is a sin, after all. (And the married people might be in sin, too. Marriage is only sanctioned for the procreation of the species. So if you have no interest in having children, then the marriage is a sham, thus also sin. )

Hmmm... and double hmmmm. I'd replace both of you!

OK Rev. Skyhawk, he without sin cast the first stone. , hey Skyhawk does'nt your wife like the pretty blue cases? I wish mine did then maybe she would buy me some pretty blue cases with movies in them.

Jason, although I was kidding about the "sin" part, I do believe in the institution of marriage. It's not because of religious reasons, but because it makes joining with someone that much more of a commitment in this "throw it away when I get tired of it" society. I may be old fashioned, but when you decide to live with someone (apart from just room-mates), it should be a life-long commitment and not some 1 to 5 year trial period. In other words, the entire ritual and contract makes people take it more seriously. It has nothing to do with religion or the expectation of having children IMO. That's why you guys really should be married, unless it's just some convenient "pool our resources" kind of casual thing.

But like I said, I'm old-fashioned and terribly conservative.

LOL, you remember that? Yeah my wife loves the pretty blue cases, and now hates those bulky black DVD cases in comparison. Heck, she even likes those red cases better. That is a definite plus for me

My Wife can see the difference but doesn't care. But the sound impact of movies SD or HD she agrees makes a difference. But my wife and my buddy's wife together learned to just say things like "If you say it sounds better then it sounds better" or "Yep looks good!". Just as long as i am happy with my gear she is happy!

Believe it or not, Skyhwak, I do agree with most of what you said. I don't necessarily agree with the idea marriage is reserved for people looking to only have children (it's a line from the Catholic Church to ban gays from getting legally married). Nor do I look kindly on short term marriages, like Elizabeth Taylor or Britney. That's like jumping into the deep end of the pool before knowing you can swim. For our particular case, we celebrated three years together last November. He's met nearly my entire family, I'm fully integrated into his. We've had our share of fuck ups and the like...still together. I've never seen a relationship or commitment as something disposable. Some people do. Not us.

The great ( ) state of Michigan, and another dozen or so, don't allow same sex marriage. When they do-when it is legally binding in ever single jurisdiction in the country-we will get married. But we're not going a Massachusetts or Canada wedding because the contract we enter into there will not be binding here. That day may never come and we may end up being together "unmarried" in the eyes of the government. So be it.

Jason, thread derailer

Jason, that's funny because I was just getting ready to call Skyhawk a thread hijacker.
