HighDefDigest.com search engine HD DVD biased - Blu-ray Forum

drb124 · 06-22-2007, 10:11 PM

I don't know if its just me, but if I type in a movie title that is on both formats, the hd dvd review is the first thing on the list, but the blu-ray review is not found on the page. I don't know if this intentional, but it just struck me as odd.

Well, it sure can't be in alphabetical order. So if it's always like that, it is biased; whether intentional or not.

It's not just their search engine. I used to be a forum member but after the obvious favoritism I found this place. I am not going back. If I see a link to their site I usually avoid it.

I have noticed that with all the good news blu-ray has gotten, it seems that site is giving blu-ray movies more fair reviews lately.

Hey, seriously, who gives a f*%k anymore? We know the score, and after the BBuster announcement, so does everyone else!

And they can keep giving HD DVD the benefit as long as they keep giving that format the sub-par reviews.

If they've been unfair to BD, it tells you much about their overall credibility. Just remember not to give them any more web hits.

I dunno, I have noticed as far as the ratings go (i.e PQ and AQ) have been higher than what I would have thought when I watched it, IMO. Of course I know that what setup you have ways a big factor but some like The Fifth Element getting 3 out of 5 for PQ is a little high. This is one of many that I thought were worse than they rated.

Well, at least you didn't get banned for challenging a moderators comments. I did it more than once to the same moderator, and he decided I was too confrontative and banned me. Totally ethical on his part....

That's basically how they keep the forum lop-sided. The sad part is people go to certain sites and follow advice thinking it's impartial.

If someone comes to this forum seeking advice its a pretty safe bet it will come down in Blu's favor. We have nothing to hide including which format we prefer.
