This thread continues to get weirder by the hour.

There are few morsels to share in advance of CES, I'm afraid - everyone's keeping them close to the vest for CES itself.

Please allow me to elaborate on your second answer. If you can answer, can you tell us if there is anything coming at CES (NOT TALKING WB HERE) that will excite the blu fan base. Maybe something unexpected? Not asking for details just asking if you can say yes or no to this question. Thanks and welcome back brother.

Just noticed another question VERY similar to this one was asked and answered but I will leave it just in case it may get an additional answer.

In other words I anticipate an abundance of good Blu-ray news starting within the next few days which, in total, will make the eventual outcome clear.

Great to hear!

Mmmh. I guess if we aren't talking about the same for #2, it should go like this:

Translation #2 would be quite groundbreaking imho.

Much to what I am sure would be my wife's objections, I too will be driving down to Miami to join Mystik running through the streets (although, I'm pretty sure I'll be joined by 100's of others, and for some reason, she will be out in front...)

That is right, blu paint and skyclad down the streets says I.
It will be one of those freak things that happens once in a life time.
"For some reason thousands of people all around the world painted themselves blu and went running naked through the streets, it was the damnedest thing!"

Ok, everyone. Here's the dance you have to learn.



It's sort of like a rain dance but it's more Blu-ray orientated. Anyway, what the hell are you reading this for? Dance!

And, yes, that probably is the P-Man on the rock but I can't work out why his hat & pants are red?

I bet it feels good to be able to post something like that and not subsequently be pestered to death by the HD DVD peanut gallery.

I am *so* glad to see Talk in that thread on HDD now hehe. A couple nights ago I was feeling really tag teamed there, when Amir, DV, and Kosty all jumped in, especially since I was arguing with nothing but non-insider knowledge. =)

Technically I'm not banned anymore, it's past midnight here, but I'm really tired, my gf left for Cambridge this evening and it was the last time I'll see her for about a month.

It will give u time to catch up on those BD titles you still have not unwrapped.

[horseflesh]

Good to see you back Max, and being in the same time zone as you why aren't we in bed???

Separately, LOL.

Got a lot of other stuff though including a night in with the girlfriend wearing nothing but the Ann Summers sexy santa outfit, fun...

I bet it was. I remember myself dressing up as Santa one year.

Let's face it, we're only going to have another day or two of insider comments, if that, with CES upon us.

Would be nice to have a few juicy rumours of what to expect.

We expect some nice hardware announcements, WB/Weinstein exclusivity could be well after CES, while title rumours have been underwhelming.

I'm struggling to see why we should get excited about CES, it appears no earth shattering, or even midly interesting, news is going to be announced, and really, this format war needs to be ended pronto, the indecision from the industry is seriously testing us consumers patients!

I think I speak for all Blu insiders.

I will take the anonymity and the track record of our Blu-ray insiders hands down, any day over any clown over there at AVS...I mean HDD.

Strange though how he held you up as some very knowledgeable and respected on AVS (in the thread that got deleated).
