Will you purchase THD discs

[JTK]

The THD marketing, assuming these things ever really see the light of day, will almost certainly cater to the idea of "It's this or nothing!!!" and that will be disingenuous and unfortunate.

They'll be going for a quick hit just like this LG dual format player.

I wish nothing but colossal failure for any of the likes of it.

The sad irony and disservice of this is that it will contribute to even MORE customer confusion. "THD"....what is that, another format?

So what do you do? Buy your dual format player for your all in one THD discs?

This stuff's just getting stupid outright.

I don't care if LOTR:EE comes out on THD. Out of principle, I will not help contribute to prolonging this Microsoft charade of a format war while they continue to deliberately splinter the market.

I will not buy THD. I will not buy combos of any kind. I will not buy dual format anything, of any kind. I will not buy anything that even remotely assists MS in prolonging this needless nonsense and attempt for them to try and strong arm their way into the home theater market.

I will import BD's long before I ever buy any of this combo or dual format garbage.

All of this crap is just more fuel for that fire. I'm going to say totally Blu and I can wait the extra time to get it done right.


Here's what's so stupid about the whole thing:

ALL of this nonsense for Universal Studio movies? That's the only reason a lot of people bought HD-DVD or have stuck with it even this long while most of them bought into BD as well.

If things go the way I expect them to and I start seeing Universal blink in BD's direction within the next 6-12 months...all of this nonsense will be for naught anyways.

It's that simple.
