Default HD-DVD Dead?

At least that's how I understand it? I'm a proud owner of a Sony B-Ray player, and simply love it. A friend of mine recently got a HD player, and posted on a mutual forum that Blu lost the war. I believe this is untrue, but how do I let him down easy? lol! He was pretty smug in his post, so maybe he needs a wake-up call, any suggestions????

Is this a joke? Does he live in a cave?

Check any of about 1,000,000,000 websites. So simple even a caveman could do it.

Default Funny Thing Is...

He works at a Wal-mart! My wife ( Kat ) says to just be nice, he'll get the message without my input. BTW...this site is great! It's cool to communicate with fellow B-ray fans, and I thank you all for the privilege! I'm just a newbie, but I know a good thing when I see it, and this place is a groovin' thang!!!!

Default Nah, No Handicap, But..

he is kinda hard headed. Actually, he's a great drummer, but I think he's marchin' to a bitter end. Bein' new here, I enjoy the various responses, but am learning how to ask questions a little more cautiously. However, we are wondering when Kiss will board the B-ray bandwagon? Lol!!!!!

if he works at WM then tell him to ask his boss because WM already said they are dumping HD DVD http://www.informationweek.com/showA...leID=206504567

not to forget that a few days later http://www.toshiba.co.jp/about/press/2008_02/pr1903.htm

You say he's a great drummer? I think I know your friend... he made a youtube video

check it out --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xOJRzZ1Eos

Watch how he practices his drumming at the 0:45 and 0:54 mark



P.S. Looks like he finally found out about who won the war

I suggest sending him this youtube video in an e-mail... if he even knows how to work a computer and e-mail...
I mean after all... he picked the DUD and works at Walmart

Next time you see him, slap him in the face. That should teach him.
