today may be the final day in the fight against red FUD. ever since Feb. 19th we have seen a decrease in Red ants but today a huge backlash has occured.
here are some of the memories that will be left here forever from the mentally ill person next door named Donnie.

from HDD:
thread 1
Thread 2
thread 3

if anyone else would like to contribute go ahead.

Funny - I've got two of those three posters on my Ignore list for having their heads so far up their asses that it wasn't even worthwhile to read what they wrote.

I neve go to the HDD forums, and I am so glad What a bunch of morons.

You got me thinking about the height of this war when a red ant back in September infiltrated Blu-ray.com and placed this bogus post that set off a firestorm. It got up a lot of peoples hopes (including mine), but if you would change the date of this idiots post to the Friday before CES it becomes almost true.

Warner Going Blu-ray Exclusive (Rumor)
Hello,
I'm happy to announce that tomorrow 10AM PST Warner will issue a press release announcing they are going Blu-ray exclusive. I know many of you will not believe me and think this is simply a joke (which I dont blame you for) but I ask you one thing :
-Wait till tomorrow and see what happens. If the announcement doesn't come through, you can blame me all you want and ban me from the site.
Again I'm going to expect alot of doubful comments (or maybe some not nice ones ) coming but I'm fine with it. I'm some one you guys already know (and perhaps you have read my posts before ).
As for those folks willing to have a bit more faith in me, let me give you some insights for tomorrow's announcement :

-Tomorrow Warner will announce going Blu-ray exclusive. However they will honor their commitment to HD DVD (unlike Paramount to Blu-ray) and release all the titles that were promised this year. Starting 2008, Warner will release only in Blu-ray Disc format.
-Waner will release all the previously exclusive HD DVD titles on Blu-ray by end of Q2 2008.
-The first Blu-ray live title (including PiP) from warner will release early 2008.
-As for their joint promotion with Toshiba regarding bundling 300 with 3rd generation Blu-ray players, the offer will expire December 2007.
-New Line will also go Blu-ray exclusive starting 2008 (Hairspray hint anyone?)
-One big catalogue title will be released exclusive on Blu-ray by Q2 2008. I believe Peter Jackson has something to do with that title

Tomorrow 10AM Pacific Time. For those of you who will think I'm not telling the truth or being stupid, I respect that opinion. But coming tomorrow when Warner announces exclusivity, all of you have to send me a Blu-ray movie as a bonus ."

1. Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
2. Anger: "Why me? It's not fair."
3. Bargaining: "Maybe I'll just re-settle with dvd for awhile."
4. Depression: "I'm so sad, this definition sucks!"
5. Acceptance: "I'm going to buy a blu-ray player."


The last stand was the failed Transformers week.

Does anyone have the stages for when people are going to stop dragging HD DVD stuff into this forum? I'd love to see where we are. Hopefully toward the end, because the format is dead and there is no point in dredging this stuff up.
