Yes. Fun! Fun!

What a dirty rotten bunch of cheaters in the BDA. Poisoning the sales stats by releasing lots of content. How can this be allowed?!

Mark my words, the fingers will start to point soon. Warner and Paramount will be vilified. And they'll even blame Universal for not doing enough.

And all along, Disney will be just about to announce they are going neutral.

Its way too enjoyable to watch. They will kick and scream all they want, it just makes the BDA more pleased that the most retarded of people are getting upset at their obvious success!

theknub · 01-09-2007, 06:05 AM

i got 5 or 6 posts into each link and pretty much puked. talk about people in supreme denial. yes, we're fanboys over here as well. however, reality seems to be a different world to them (see harry in spiderman)

Knight-Errant · 01-09-2007, 06:50 AM

You know, I hate to say I told them so, but...

theknub · 01-09-2007, 07:06 AM

^^ don't lie to make friends... you love to say it

Blue · 01-09-2007, 07:41 AM

Why are they upset? I'm sure I have read in numerous places a few weeks ago that Disney & Fox are now HD-DVD and Yamaha, Denon and Marantz are making HD-DVD players even LG got into the act. Amazing what the facts can do. Why don't the FUDsters want higher data rates for video and audio, not to mention extra capacity for computer backup. Toshiba can't be paying all of them or are they?

I have not been able to find out anything about Yamaha, Denon and Marantz. Last year I think at the CES Yamaha had a prototype Blu ray. I can assume Denon and Marantz have not shown or announced HD-DVD or it would be everywhere on the net.

I had two of my threads removed tonite and got a warning from an AVS moderator. All I did was post that I as a BD owner was very stoked by all the announcements, the HDdvd threads were like a ghosttown and that all the HDdvd supporters were trolling in the BD forums against "supposed" (yeah, right!) AVS rules. AVS is clearly HDdvd biased and there's no point to even posting there anymore. If you can't express your opinion in the BD forums without risking suspension it's a joke. I wasn't posting a gloating "HA! HA! HDdvd has ZILCH for new release announcements!" in the HDdvd software forums. I wasn't looking to pick a fight. I posted only on the BD forums my opinion and within minutes almost got my head chewed off by rabid HDdvd dogs. Which interestingly the mods there allow and they NEVER suspend the constant HDdvd trolls. Never. Was kinda funny. Just shows you how desperate they are becoming...

PeterTHX · 01-09-2007, 09:19 AM

If they hadn't been so mean...

...victory wouldn't have been so sweet!

Well, I've been luckier I guess (knock wood).

A few of my posts have hit 'em where it hurts, no mods knocking me yet.
Unlike Home Theater Forum, where I have to bite my tongue.

Dave Mack · 01-09-2007, 06:33 PM

Yep, I got ANOTHER warning today threatening suspension if I "publicly challenged Modertaor actions"....
unbelieveable. The HDdvd trolls had a feeding frenzy yesterday after the CES BD software announcments and I called them and AVS on it and got my ass handed to me.
I never even SAID that the mods did anything. All I said was it's interesting here that the HDdvd trolls can bash away and get away with it but the BD fans get their threads removed...

dialog_gvf · 01-09-2007, 06:41 PM

I had one post deleted that tried to correct a mistake from rdjam in a "news" link (he mistook NPD numbers for worldwide sales). I was told I had to create a new link, or report the post.

Basically, you can say any BS commentary you want as long as you have a news link, and nobody is allowed to respond there. Except, of course, Amir. Special rules for him.

In the end, it wasn't worth poisoning the forum to correct the ramblings of an ID-10-Tango, but still it is stupid you can't post corrections to commentary.

Blue · 01-10-2007, 07:14 AM

What is going price of second HD-DVD disc's!!!!! I gues it's possible they could fall below their DVD counterparts.

blitz6speed · 01-10-2007, 08:20 AM

For sale section at AVS looks like a toshiba warehouse, HD-DVD players for sale all over the place.

Here's hell freezing over:

Imagine the day that ever happens when rdjam suddenly comes out with a post with sentiments like markrubin's lying sig, for example.

Rivera213 · 01-13-2007, 06:24 PM

Ha ha, this is funny.

We come across fan-boys all the time in the guitar world. Whatever you say, they wont listen even if it's FACT.

I'm glad to see they're everywhere! Lol.

What i do is just agree with them & add a bit of sarcasm. Always does the trick.
