Ah, okay. :)

It really doesn't matter. For some reason people still seem oblivious to how little HD formats matter. Transformers had record breaking day 1 HD format sales, and yet those sales still equaled only 2% of the total 1st day sales. Blu-ray and HD DVD are still both complete non-factors. To think, not a month ago I remember people saying DVD would be dead by 2009. These formats have been in retail more than a year and can still only take 2% of the movie sales.

I agree and I believe that people have been spouting statistics without (really) thinking about what they mean ...

For months we have see people posting that HDTV adoption will "Hit 50%" by 2010 without considering that this means more than 50% of households will not have HDTVs until 2010 ... People don't seem to be thinking rationally and believe that people will (instantly) rush out and buy a HD-Movie player before (or as soon as) they buy a HDTV

 I have never heard that DVD would be dead by 2009.  HD DVD, however...

I'm pretty sure it was leo-j who said it, so it's not necessarily logical (kidding leo-j). Still, even suggesting HD DVD will be dead when recently most news has been overwhelmingly positive for HD DVD (Paramount exclusivity, record breaking day 1 sales, $200 player, etc.) doesn't make much sense. Not that either matter, but HD DVD obviously isn't going anywhere.

I think Naznatips should change his name to "The Voice of Reason"!

i guess he ran out of the cash Paramount paid him.

 so do they insert money into Micheal Bay and he makes noise/movie?

 they handed him chash to shutup about switching to HD-DVD. They tried to do the same with Speilburg luckily Speilburg refused. 

Er... I don't remember Spielburg ever saying anything about HD DVD. Considering he is co-owner of Dreamworks and helped make the decision for them to go HD DVD exclusive it would be kind of odd for him to criticize it. Of course, once again I reiterate that neither format is even close to relevant in the movie market.
