And in no time the Sony Fanboys make short work of this thread finding a way to take pot shots at the Wii crowd.

It's amazing how the Sony crowd is never to blame for anything that happens on these forums, its always just the Wii gamers that seem to cause trouble. /Sarcasm end/ This is the tride and true victimization complex that is common among the Sony fanboys. It always the website and its mods that are Nintendo Biased. Its always the site's numbers that are Nintendo Biased. Its always the other members that are Nintendo biased.

Blamming others has become such an ingrained facet of their methodology that they're completely blind to thier own instigations and ruffling of feathers on the boards. They're so spoiled by the days of the PS2 where Sony worship was accepted as fact that now they can't even recognize their preference for the Sony brand as being unpopular or contestable.

Not all Sony fans are like this and the MS and Ninty crowd have done their share of problem causing on this site too. I just can't believe how eager this particular group of fanboys is to blame absolutely everything on someone else. No matter the circumstances, there always seems to be a scapegoat.

 What's even more amazing is that you're always in the middle of it pointing your proverbial finger...

I still don't get how anybody could get excited over BR vs. HDDVD... dear god, it's a storage medium. I'd be hard pressed to think of something less interesting.

Seriously, what the hell? I know HDDVD vs. Blu Ray is a big topic this week, but what is it with all these sub-50 post members making near-identical posts along the lines of "Blu Ray is the future! Shut up!"

Am I the only person who sees this? What, are these people being paid off by Sony? If they were making decent arguments (i.e., *arguments*), it would be another story. If they were established posters with one-off bad posts, it would be another story. But no. It's people with less seniority than *me,* spamming up the forums with Blu Ray FUD.

You think Blu Ray is the better format? Fine. You're allowed your opinion. Don't be a dick about it, though. Am I against Blu Ray? Yeah. I think it's ridiculous for a generic product such as a media disc to be as heavily branded as Blu Ray is becoming. I'm not fond of HDDVD either, but they have the benefit of actually being generic at face value, even if they have brandings inherent in the disc. I think there are far too many industries nowadays which should be commodity-based, but end up branded because someone chooses to push their weight around and drive all the generics out of the market.

How the hell does somebody have a copyright on an industry standard when it's basically a turkey-shoot as to which format ends up standard? Think about that for a second.

What is best for the industry? GENERIC MEDIA STORAGE. Make a disc with more space, and build a basic drive which can read it, then let the industry make modifications from there. No special brands. No fancy bullcrap that makes my basic drive needlessly more expensive. No "close two doors to open a window" features.

Generic storage.

*That* is an industry standard.


Generic media storage?  What is this?  

Every storage medium has to be created by somebody, and that person(s) holds the patents, creates the logos, and makes the money.  It is the nature of a commercial product.  Was DVD "generic storage"?  Not at all.  It was made primarily by Toshiba, much like HD DVD. They weren't forced to advertise the logo so much because they could instead advertise the products capabilities vs those of VHS.  Really, DVD spread by word of mouth moreso than advertising.

The only reason the brands of HD DVD and Blu-Ray are more prevalent then those of formats past is because they are in direct competition with each other, and in battles such as this, marketing is key.

lol WTF???  Where did that come from?  I didn't see any Sony Fanboys taking any shots at anything in this thread.  At least give them a chance to piss you off before go off on them.  LMAO

I think there are so many posts as, to be blunt, people have invested both ways - buying HD DVD or BR players and movies.

The result is that there are people feeling genuinely annoyed its looking like the chose badly (saw one post on another site from some poor guy who'd just unpacked his new HD DVD player and set it up only to see the Warners news) while others are feeling they chose correctly and wish to crow about it.

I'm sure after the initial frenzy everything will calm down to normal posting with the normal sabre rattling between 360 and PS3 fanpeople (I've decided to be PC and not assume some of them fanboys ain't fangirls!).
