So.... your new girl's father is a HD DVD fanatic. What to do? - Blu-ray Forum

stofferdk · 10-08-2007, 07:11 PM

lol

I never thought this could happen in real life - I feel like a hollywood movie.

I have been after this girl for ages. She is simply beautiful - and I think I am in love, whatever.

Now, we went on a trip to watch a concert in Hamburg, Germany - and we are taking a walk. She sees a movie (cant remember which) on a poster "Coming to Blu Ray and HD-DVD", and stops.
While I had no idea she even knew how to turn a computer, she says:
"Wow... I diddnt think this movie was coming to HD-DVD, how great."

And I went like, wtf
"You... you buy movies? I mean, you support HD-DVD?"

Then I got the whole story about her dad being a HD-DVD fanatic, and how she loves the quality which is WAY superior to Blu Ray. I also got the story her father told her: Blu Ray uses the same mpeg encodes as the DVD version.
lal

anyway - wtffffff
My room is stuffed with Blu Ray and I am one of those who just take it personal and simply hate HD-DVD. I dont think I can go to another family dinner at her place again xD

this is SO messed up. I finally meet a very nice girl, and she turns out have the same interests as me ... just, she joined the other faction.
Must be like meeting a girl who plays alliance on some normal server. ouch.

Anyone of you met a girl supporting HD-DVD LOL?

Can you show her the information available on this site that would set her straight?

blu-rayfan101 · 10-08-2007, 07:14 PM

What did you tell her?

spam.curitiba · 10-08-2007, 07:16 PM

seriously there are other fish in the pond buddy....

bootman · 10-08-2007, 07:16 PM

Ah, to be young and stupid. (I know, I was once)

If this will stop you from dating her, then you shouldn't be dating.

erowe83 · 10-08-2007, 07:17 PM

All I have to say is... ***** vs. Blu-ray... this should not be tough!!!!!!!! (sorry for offending someone..)

stofferdk · 10-08-2007, 07:19 PM

of course, me - having anger management probs as it is, tried to reason with her.... and she just pulled the "just.. dont, it dosent matter".
so typical girls -_-'

I can just imagine some cozy evenin at her place with her parents, and her dad going "How about we all move to the living room and watch a nive movie"... I mean lol - I am certainly not going to watch a HD-DVD.

or her dad exploring my interests and wantning to show of his system or sommin lal.

I will go like "you know paps - I got a blu ray system, and I dont really want to see your low bandwith, low capacity, 1080i sommin combo disc crap".

ANYWAY, I am a nice guy - I like the girl very much, and I am going to behave ^^ I just had to share the Hamburg story, God I almost paniced.

Yeah, but I might get a divorce if my wife wanted to support HD-DVD over Blu

Explaining that to a guy, who is telling his late teenage daughter about Blu Ray using standard DVD encodes?

I think I just might.

Wait a second, part of your story doesn't add up...

You let your girlfriend outside?! There is the start of your problems. I keep my girlfriend in doors, barefoot, at the stove. She does this because I am the man and what I say goes.

If you are reading this sweety I love you...

Cyorg · 10-08-2007, 07:29 PM

Send her dad a "sexy time" video of the two of you on blu-ray. You'll be laughing on the inside knowing that he can't watch it... Or rather hoping he doesn't pop it in one of the display models at Best Buy.

You are going to risk angering her father and by extension her over having to watch an HD-DVD?

This is has taken over the prestigious "saddest post on on any forum on the internet" award.
