Doing my part - Blu-ray Forum

glenn-bob · 12-18-2007, 11:19 AM

Well this week everyone at my company was offered a "gift" to chose from a list of tech items. some of the items included were a blu-ray player a, HD-DUD player, and iTouch, widescreen monitors, digital camera, etc. etc. Everyone here in the office expected me to go for the HD-DUD player since I've been doing nothing but talk about BD since I got my playstation but they were wrong. As much as I'd love to own and see Transformers in HD, something I am still very bitter about, I decided to keep the faith an get the camera instead.

It would have been just as effective if you took the HD-DVD player so that someone else didn't get it and start buying HDDVD titles. Safer in the hands of a Blu fan.

Unless the Blu-ray player was decent and decoded DTS-HD MA, I might have chosen the HD-DVD player. (I know! The horror!)

I would then have found an uncluttered desk and proceeded to dismantle it. For surely at least there is something interesting inside..

I would have taken the Blu-Ray player and used it on another TV in the house or given it away as a Christmas gift.

+1, it would make a great X-Mas gift.

lol, There is so much talk on this board about how we can get blu to win this war but it seems that everyone responding to my post is telling me i should have supported HD-DUD and got the player. Am I missing something here? I guess some people on here just DON'T wanna win this war after all.

What's an iTouch??? Did you mean iPod Touch?
