^ LordKnightofnothingness. You're taking this thread seriously. Go back and look how many post you have made. Trying to beat Soriku's post count :P

Face it it's a big blow to HD DVD. It's very close to the end. PORN is not going to say HD DVD now :P

This SHOULD put an end to HD-DVD, but they are too stubborn. It makes no sense to keep it around, especially since they are losing money from it.

Their time would be better invested making blu-ray players and not ruining both formats.

Hmm, interesting:

If you read my posts isntead of counting, you would have seen I did point that out. I'm just pointint out the idiocy and lies here, as you just did. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Here is an interesting article...Warner insists it was not paid by Sony to go blu-ray exclusive...suppose it doesn't matter, but I've heard a lot of speculation about it.

But, but, but Sony Moneyhatting :( Oh Noes :P


You were insisting Sony doesn't do it at all, not just with here.


 Why? is that going to change anything. The point is, Sony ain't paying big dosh for studio support. HD DVD and MS have.

Like I said before... It's business, so of course they may moneyhat, but in this case they haven't so you fail your lowness.

What a misleading headline.

If not the 6th, then when? CES ends the 10th this year.

7th, 8th, 9th, 10th?

This has nothing to do with the content of this conference, or whether a delay can help. It's about you acting as though the time is shorter than it actually is.

More clarification from Maxpower at BR.com:

I should have clarified. NL will make their own announcement when they see fit, they are still a fully autonomous studio, but the BDA have made a deal with Time Warner and you can rest assured that it includes all studios operating under TW.


Woot. Just imagine how beautiful Rivendell, Minas Tirith, and the Grey Havens will look on Blu-Ray. :D

They have to annouce the MOVIE RELEASES. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. What the hell makes you think being format neutral would affect the relase of Lord of the Rings in blu-ray? And don't bring up the Matrix, as this article states NL is autonomous.

So why the hell are you associating NL going blu-ray exclusive with LotR being released on blu-ray? If it's available internationally, BEFORE NL has annouced any decision, there is CLEARLY NO CONNECTION.

Now I'm typing in allcaps because you have been stupidly connecting the two, with NOTHING TO CONNECT THEM.


I'm talking about a Blu-Ray specific encode vs a format neutral one.  This has nothing to do with WHEN they are announced. :P

Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? Everyone who makes a post in this thread you take it as a vendetta, and for some reason, as an attack on you.

This was planned before the main show, now you mean to tell me it will take place during? And if it is true that it only get postponed, you still can't deny the fact that the Warner Bros. deal has probably hurt them in some way, as even they say the announcement has made an "impact" on them.
