My Brothers Are RED! :( - Blu-ray Forum

DrinkMore · 12-29-2007, 12:39 PM

Yeah, I had to buy my brother an HD-DVD player addon for his xbox. I know I know, but it's what HE wanted. It's not about me. My other brother also bought the addon a month or so back. He has been buying duds steadily from what I hear. My other brother has none yet except the one that came with it.

Oh me oh my. It's a constant battle. They keep saying they have all the studio support and blah blah blah. They also keep saying that it will be a dual format world - blu and red. Dual format players are the future. Blah blah blah. Uninformed as usual.

I will keep my blu. I tell them they don't have disney or fox. They come up with another excuse instead. Always dodging the obvious. Go figure?

Oh well, when red dies they will see. I will then have the last laugh. I can also say that red ants will have some excuse even at the end. Blah blah blah died because of.. blame it on someone else.

Anyways, just a short story

I am offsetting their purchases. 2 dud players, 2 blu players. Each new movie they get, I get 2 or 3.

you can beat them at that game but if they turn your parents red they might adopt more children and convert them to so you will have to buy against 5-6 red family!

DUDE!!

just hope they see the light when you constantly show them titles they'll never get on the DUD, they'll be envious & see the Blu light soon enough

Dude, I feel your pain!

But, just think, in a few months, you will be able to get them BD-player addons for their X-Boxes!

Why would he spend his hard earned money? Let them wallow in their own pain for using the X-Box Add-On. He should buy them boxes of tissues.

Curious, is this just speculation?

"Friends don't let friend's buy HD DVD." The same should definitely be true for family... unless you really hate them or something.

The Xbox group have said long ago they could add a Blu-ray add-on if things went that way.

But, honestly, it will NEVER happen. Microsoft will never allow Java to run on the Xbox 360.

Pfft...you're like Lady MacBeth. You may not have done it yourself, but there's blood on your hands and it's not coming off.

And I know I'm mixing Shakespeare metaphors here...

JJ · 12-30-2007, 01:42 AM

I want to find a lovely young lady who is an HD-DVD fangirl just so I can have my own Romeo and Juliet now.

Ant support of HD DVD is anti blu-ray.
