Default Good Slogan for HD-DVD

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill (blu-ray) - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the (hd-dvd) red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

or this

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You buy blu-ray- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You buy HD-DVD - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

I know what you're thinking:

Why didn't I take the BLUE pill.



Wonderland? Would that be the place where instead of playing movies, I spend all my time waiting for bootup and fighting with lockups, skips, and HDMI issues?

Wonderland is where you are left wondering where half the 2006 box office is because it ain't on HD DVD and probably never will be.

Yea, this would be pretty cool if the Blu-ray or HD-DVD team made this a commercial. subliminal message.

This is kind of stolen from anchorman but here it is:

"3% of the time, it works everytime"

That seems to be how my HD-DVD player is holding up. I've been hoping for a firmware upgrade, but I am guessing there wont be anymore for the first gen players. Thank you Toshiba. I spent $500 on a worthless piece of garbage that freezes up and does other weird things on pretty much every movie I own. Again, thank you.

Let me see if I can dig up someone who has never had any problems to prove this can't be the case.

"I saw five PS/3s in my local BB - The PS/3 isn't selling"
"I asked my friends with a PS/3 if they are going to watch BD movies, they didn't know what Blu-ray is. Gamers won't use it"
"My A1 never had a problem. Very few people are having troubles"

It's a common logical fallacy. Anecdotal Evidence & Testimonials being considered as proof.
