I think you accidentally found a use for all the obsolete HD DVD players out there.

Wheel chocks.

The environment thanks you.

oh man your so cool you should totally buy other stuff that someone else could actually use but instead smash it

Marquoz · 05-12-2008, 12:41 PM

But does it blend?

AliceT · 05-12-2008, 02:22 PM

Some people have too much time on their hands.

This kind of wanton and needless waste truly sickens me.

EDIT: Ah, I see what happened. This guy reposted this nonsense after the first thread was deleted.

jkwest · 05-12-2008, 03:23 PM

dude...how many Blu's could you have purchased for that price?

turboedguy · 05-12-2008, 03:30 PM

love it, I gave the video a 5 star rating!

How much food and/or gas could someone get?

It was cheaper than a trip to Disneyland, and probably alot more gratifying.

MY GURU POST!

BTBuck1 · 05-12-2008, 04:40 PM

what an idiot.

I gaurantee it was a broken one.

Beta Man · 05-12-2008, 05:28 PM

you should sell those stupid looking rims to get that dent taken care of......

phlydude · 05-12-2008, 07:21 PM

Wow, I just wasted 3 minutes of my life...taking a sledge hammer to it would have been more satisfying and better for the environment!

DetroitSportsFan · 05-12-2008, 07:27 PM

I run over garbage all of the time while driving. No big deal.

BluWave · 05-13-2008, 05:11 AM

Ive decided to chime in on this subject due to the amount of haters leaving what appears to be HD DVD support or at very least, non BD support. I purchased that HD DVD unit myself from a store liquidation for a dollar. It fired up and displayed on screen, but the tray would not eject. So rather than letting someone purchase it and have it fixed due to it still being under warranty. I purchased it and made sure one less player would help support what I thought all of you hated (HD DVD). So after it sitting in my garage incase of some miraculous BD loss for almost a year. I decided to trash it and Onlyblu suggested destroying in on video. Thus we give you that. So I hope there will be better comments left after further explination.

the only people who truly HATE HD DVD were rather nutsoid zealots. Most of us here are Hi Def fans not frothing fanboys

this is not a true war, this is not really important and this "war" was pretty much fueled by a couple vocal supporters on both sides. Other normal people just went out and bought/supported what they thought was best.

Repeat after me. "we are not a bunch of pissing fanboys...this is not IGN"

I have an HD DVD player..... last I checked it still worked, and I haven't been inclined to run it over in my Jeep yet.

You thought we "all hated HD DVD" wow.... there you go thinking again....
