Who has been here since the format war, and are you surprised by how heated it got?

Hey - wasn't planning on getting an HD or Blu player at all back in the 200X's since I wasn't convinced the format was that much better than regular DVD (and it wasn't really, on the old CRT I had at the time) - though, I finally caved & bought my first Blu player in late 2012 - and it's one of my all-time best & favorite purchases.

However, I do remember the HD/Blu format war to some extent - I used to frequent the Digitalbits.com site, and that was a big topic of discussion back in the late 200X's. I remember reading that some HD supporters were actually getting so passionate about the format that they posted a lot of negative comments about people who were supporting Blu-ray (and possibly vice-versa) - note this was anecdotal, since I didn't actually see evidence of this....

Yes...and ironically, he's posting in the thread entitled, "Dishonesty of Sighted Listening Tests - by Sean Olive".
