What "tasteless tactics" is this douchebag referring to? The BOGO?

Nothing tasteless about BOGOS, they are sales, companies have those all the time, they are good for the consumer and help move product.

Now the $150 million bribe to Toshiba, that was tasteless. And the BOGOS only came right after Toshiba's move. In fact, the BOGOS were a response to Toshiba's shamless tactic.

What are they mad the BDA didnt just sit there and take that cheap move right up the A$$? Seriously

HD DVD Fanboys: "alright, we paid $150 million for Paramount. Awesome! Now well show everyone who the best format is."

BDA has some BOGOS that in total probably cost less than 1/100th of the $150 million the HD DVD group spent

HD DVD Fanboys: "Hey, what gives? They werent supposed to be fighting back. No fair."

How the hell can they call a response to a tasteless tactic a tasteless tactic?

Warner's move is anti-consumer, the Paramount move was not.
The only format ready for mass adoption? Have they forgotten about the 51GB discs they were trying to add? And how is Blu-ray incomplete and not ready? So what if profile 1.1 and 2.0 add some extra features, the format improved a little. Progressive Scan wasnt even in DVD players for the first year or so, well I guess DVD was never ready and shouldnt have been released.

Honestly people, there is delusional and then there is just retarded.

And FYI, if Warner went HD DVD exclusive the format war would continue at a stale mate, that would risk killing both formats. Ending the War is the best thing Warner could have done!

They will continue to post this drivel for some time. It's their way of coping (as opposed to, say, buying a blu-ray player and joining the winning team).

don't question an HD DUD's logic. Just destroy them mentally and you will be fine.
