First of all, you didn't mention the higher bitrate at first. The way you are posting makes it look as though you are discussing a release at all. 

Second, that still isn't a connection. Assuming that NL uses the same release specs as Warners, where is the proof they would drop the one disc thing? You yourself wrote they do that. And did you see my correction that using that one disc is the reason there isn't enough space for the higher bitrate. 

*A higher bitrate is not the same as a blu-ray encoding. Both formats use the same encodings. 

I picked a great time to join vgchartz.

Finally..I mean before we had:

2.5 : 1 [U.S, Bluray Leads]

3 : 1 [Europe, Bluray Leads]

30 : 1 [Japan, Bluray Leads]

Let's get with it people...it was over when Bluray entered the arena, steadily outselling it's hd-dvd competitor in both players sales as well as disc sales.

This notion of hd-dvd ever winning was just fantasy....consumers had already spoken, BLURAY sells..hd-dvd doesn't lol. I love hearing people claim that "nobody wants hi-def discs"...ummm, apparently they DO, and apparently BLURAY is the chosen format.

..Now lets all pause for laughter as ms announces their "xbox ultimate" with a built in OBSOLETE hd-dvd drive...that should really win them some points, what with coming off that whole 33% failure rate, dozens of models along with dozens of addons being thrown out in split second decisions that just don't seem to work lol.

I did NOT DENY that. Did you even read what I wrote? I wrote that there was more time for them to plan for discussing this new development than you are making it out to be. What did you think I meant?

And the vendetta is I am fed up with these assholes treating HD formats as a trophy, and not looking at the actual merits of hi-def.

High defintion deserves better than to get support from lying assholes, rather than mainstream consumers. And that IS what it has right now. 

A great tiime to prove you don't really care about blu-ray. Why would you join just now, when it's prime for gloating, and not just anytime, to show support just because you like blu-ray so much?

Because you don't. If you join because of this, you just think it's safe to join in the bashing, rather than appreciate blu-ray for what it is.

This seems to me to be the REAL REASON HD films are not in the mainstream. Who want's a format only geeks argue about?

You've all just shoved hi-def films to the relm of comic book geekdom. Congratulations!  Of course you'll deny it, the way comic book fans deny it.

If you all focused EVEN HALF your energy arguing which will win* into getting the word of HD out, you might have gotten your format into the mainstream.

*And don't look at me about this. I know I can't get the word out myself. 

That's because I thought you knew that CES starts on the 7th; they planned their little meeting the day before. It's highly doubtful now that they do it during the main show.

 So you're posting ad infinitum about what is essentially the same thing because you're sick of people treating HD formats as...trophies? Uhhhh-huh. You must have some investment in HD-DVD whether it be emotional or financial, otherwise would you really be investing this much time/effort in aggressively refuting everything anyone says in this thread?

I feel bad for toshiba because i really feel like they were a pawn in MS's plan to make dl content the standard. On a side note i would like to ask ms how they would try to compete with apple for dl movies assuming that apple made a "imovies" system. I still think that ms has alot of tricks up their sleeve but blu ray winning may, for the moment put a dent or 2 in their plans.

Oh look I destroyed your idiot fanboy rant with FACTS, waaaa' crybaby waaa'.


---I wondered how long it would take a fanboy on here to really push me to insult them...1 post lol, good stuff! --

: In reference to lordnightking..whatever his name is lol.

Gloating about setting someone off. That proves you don't give a shit about blu-ray, or else you would ignore my comment and actually discuss the MERITS of blu-ray. 

@LordTheNightKnight

Man I have to give you props for taking on all these suppoters and fanboys even after some of them attacked you.

@MakingMusic

Your postS about blu-ray aren't blind praise so I hope you keep posting and sharing your thoughts about blu-ray.
