Whoever wrote this didn't do much research and doesn't seem to understand quite a few things.

Why do I care about this FUD posted in Geocities? I can't even finish reading his obviously bias opinions.

I know Bill Hunt prefers blu-ray, but he is still the most level headed analyst of these technologies.

One thing is certain, blu-ray movies still outsells HD-DVD by 2:1. You can't say we "cheated" by sticking blu-ray in the PS3. That is called good marketing.

HD-DVD needs to wrangle with this old business saying, "Those who fail to innovate - litigate!". Meaning, when no amount of marketing is going to keep your product from losing, you sue the competition for unfair market practices. Pathetic.

I'll say it again, if blu-ray looses this war, I'll change my title to proud founder of the blu-duds.

The title of the article is "Why Blu-Ray should never win this Hi Def Format War". I suppose I'm missing something because the article offers faint reason to support that opening. In fact, maybe I should stop that at "faint reason", period.

It's hard to take someone who says "I've yet to see FUD like this coming from neutral & HD DVD supporters." very seriously.

Default Ummm....counterfudFUDarticlesayswhat?

I see that he thinks putting the buzz term "FUD" X number of times in his article makes him an expert and obviously discredits all things Blu. I'm sold. What was I thinking? All of you on these boards are dishonest, misleading, and downright immature. Why did I not do any research and just blindly go with my more favorite color? I was a fool to allow this Bluwashing. That and talking about (lack of) "standardization"...I should have known better. Shame on me. I'm off to get my XBOX 360 and 1080i HD-DVD add-on with its superior and standardized inferior bitrate capacity.

Please, good sir, do us a favor and back it with facts. Otherwise, you are just filling the hanky...with what I'll let others deduce.

Someone took a Geocities hosted webpage seriously? What next? Are we to start taking seriously a critique published on AOL member pages?
