welcome back max, we missed you.

Poor Max, though it isn't really going to fix anything, you can still talk to us on the boards.

and she'll be back before you know it

Penton, here is something that is very interesting:

https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=37276

Apparently a worker at Circuit City has noticed that a bluray version of Transformers is in their system. He even took a pic.

Comments?

Yes, I am 100% aware that we have all seen something like this before.

GreenScar · 02-16-2008, 03:50 AM

Been working all day, just found out about the Wal*Mart news! Thanks Penton! You've been spot on like always. It's also great to see Max is back!

Question to Penton, don't know if you can answer this. How many people in the biz know Penton-man is Mr. "X" (who you really are)?

I've heard you talk about lawyers worried about your posts and such, I just wondered how many people know the secret identity...Is it like Batman (not many at all) or Spider-man (friends and villans alike know but can't do a thing about it

)?

I sincerely hope as a decent Spurs fan that you will not be cheering the gooners even after Carlos Tevez's 94th minute equaliser a short time ago...

No problem for me...got my Ham license when I was a kid and still have it. Third from last word did have a strange break in the letter Y on original message.

mpsan · 02-16-2008, 05:50 AM

PM...I almost ordered The Last Waltz as one of my 5 free BR's when I got the Panny. OH well, I can get it from Netflix.

At least one of the 5 free instore BR's I got was Queen Rock Montreal. Oh well, I guess the days of 10 Free BR DVD's is now over. I think HD-DVD is giving 147 free now with each player that costs over $35.

Grubert · 02-16-2008, 08:12 AM

Penton-Man,

What's your take on the absence of a token press release by Toshiba and/or the HD DVD PRG after the Wal-Mart announcement, as opposed to the ones issued on Monday?

Grisle · 02-16-2008, 10:25 AM

Hey Penton,
What dies it feel like to be privy to such a big bomb and not be able to say anything? I'm sure you're used to it, but it must be somewhat hard to keep such great news inside...I know you have incentives to do just that however.

I 2nd this one Penton, if they are pulling out in Japan, it seems like it would be over VERY soon, would I be correct in saying that?
