Same could be said for your, "On going sucking of the crome" off of your PS3!

See, there's the difference between me and a fanboy like yourself. If HD DVD won the war, I wouldn't be screaming "HD is dead, standard DVD will rule forever with SUC!", nor would I be saying "HD DVD is too late, VOD and downloading will kill it soon!".

Not only am I smarter than that (Doh!), I got into HD DVD first about 8 moths before Blu-ray. No, I didn't buy my HD-A2 on a fire-sale like you did when Toshiba was desparate, I paid MUCH, MUCH more. And most of those HD DVDs I own were bought before the bogo sales from my local Best Buy and Future Shop and Walmart for $32 each. And yes, and still play and enjoy them. And I rent them from zip.ca too. Check out my posts there under the same nick (skyhawk) defending zip.ca's decision to continue to rent HD DVDs.

All I can say is: "I'm glad I'm not a fanboy!" and I get to enjoy HD in all its glory regardless of format

You Sir are an Idiot! I am not a Fanboy. However I did feel that HD DVD was a better format. For you to knock HD DVD Fanboys is why I made that comment. Pull your head out of your ass!

I own a Toshiba XA2 and I bought it before your A2 even hit the shelves! I paid more for my first HD DVD player and my first Blu-Ray player, than you currently spent on your whole collection... Not 100% true considering I won a A1 then sold it to buy my XA2! I bought a A3 when they hit discontinued, and it stil is a better machine than the A2. For someone that has such a huge collection of HD DVD's why did you pick such an inferior machine? Geesh...

I picked the HD-A2 because it was only $599 from Future Shop. The XA2 wasn't on sale, and still about $1,000 at the time. I picked up so many moves because I love movies and HD looks lovely on my Optoma HD80. So bite me dick-head.

But I thought 1080p/24fps was the best... Didn't you say at one point every movie should be viewed in this? That would explain why you didn't like HD DVD as much...

Now, Now Fellas. I consider Skyhawk one of my favorite Blu brothers and ReggieP one of my favorite HDDVD supporters. I can't have this kind of fuss in the family. The both of you post some very intelligent info. So Nip it in the bud.

"Yeah man! Nip it in the BUD!"

No, I wasn't the one who said that. However that being said, I upgraded to my HD80 (capable of 24p) just a few months after buying the HD-A2, and just a couple months after buying the HC1500 which is now in our bedroom to compliment our standard CRT. In fact, when I first bought my HD-A2 I was still using my Infocus X1! Funny it was still such an incredible improvement over standard DVD. Stick that up your SUC ... umm... place.

Obviously 1080p/24fps is superiour for HD playback, and now I have the equipment to enjoy it. And yes, I have a PS3 which regardless of various noise you'll see here is a very capable Blu-ray and standard upconversion DVD player.

But you insinuating "I have more money than you and am more elite and care about my hobby more" doesn't negate the fact that you're a fanboy who suddenly tells us that VOD and downloads will take over, or that standard DVD will win for all time because of SUC. And it doesn't matter if you make a 7 digit income per year. You sir, are a fanboy nutcase.

I decided to crack a beer and barbecue some chicken and steak. It's 26 degrees celcius outside today and I'm loving the rays on the deck! Tomnorrow is supposed to be 30!

Just for your info, I don't think VOD will take over the market. I do think it will grow, but not take over the market. If there was I way I could get the movies from the Studio via direct download, I would rather pay them directly...
