Thier is no reason to tell me I have a problem or that I don't care about the consumer. In fact that is far from the truth. I care about the consumer more than anyone else on this planet. That is a problem, and I can not just stand by idally while people get sucked into buying a outdated product just because it is cheap. This format war is not about what the best deal is for today, it is about what will be best 10 or 20 years from now. Not a lot of people have 1080p TV's today, but in 2017 a lot of people will. I will never convince anyone here, because you have all already made up your minds, but the consumer out thier loves the help. |
The problem you have is that you aren't trying to help these people have an understanding about these products, you're trying to make them buy what YOU want them to buy. You don't want them to buy a product that YOU think is outdated, that YOU think won't be the best format 10 years from now. You want HD DVD to fail because YOU have chosen a different format that isn't looking so hot right now next to $100 and $200 HD DVD players for the holidays.
But don't worry, I'll give you a little bit of credit. I think that you actually believe you're helping these people, that you've convinced yourself that somehow you have to "save" these people from purchasing the wrong product. Well I'm sorry, but life doesn't work that way. You can piss away an entire afternoon in Wal-mart and convince 10 people not to buy an HD DVD player, but you can't stop them from selling out after you leave. You can't even stop the people you convinced from going home, talking to their friends and family, and changing their minds again to HD DVD if that's what they want to do.
The sooner you realize that your shit stinks as badly as everyone else's, the better off you'll be.
