Your favorite (or most annoying) HD-DUD argument.

[Prometheus59650]

In my short time exploring the whole hi-def forum thing, I came accross a few really fun ones:

"Finished spec"

- Yeah, looking ever more like finished format, too.

- Finished and inferior. What do you expect from what's basically a retooled version of a decade plus old format?

"Most Blu SALs can't do PiP, etc."

- Crock

- Back to inferiority again. PiP or a NOT compressed to all hell audio track? If I had to pick I know which one I REALLY want.

"The PS3 is just a toy."

- Nevermind that for many reasons it's the best player of either format out there.

- Or that they are ALL basically toys. You don't need them. They aren't appliances or necessities. The exist to enhance leisure time.

"I'll never buy a PS3 because it doesn't stack with my AV gear "right."

- WTF?

"HD-DVD is better. Consumers didn't choose the format for us, the STUDIOS did."

- Consumers HAVE been choosing for over a year. You just don't like their choices. Totally different thing.

-Even if I grant you that...so, what? You really think those movies are YOURS??? They belong to the studio. They can and should market them however they please. Red never gave them the product they wanted, nit the least of which being DRM. Many don't care about that, but studios sure do.

Given that and all the other limitations of Red studio support has NEVER been with it. They sold red because they could, not because they were gung ho about the product.

"Hardware moves software, just wait"

- It hasn't up to now.

- If that's true at all, it's all been in Sony's favor."

"Gamerbois" chose for us."

Umm...I know a lot of people that play games very little on it. Some not AT ALL. It's their movie player and/or media hub.

Sorry...just had to get that all off my chest. Rant concluded.
