We shouldn't have to avoid titles because Sony didn't have their stuff correct.

A little frustration is natural.

I can understand a little frustration. I just find all the agressive negativity tiresome.

Consider this... Sony screws up royally, PS 3 is a pile of crap and BD goes down in flames...

Eventually you get Sony Pictures movies on HD DVD because BD is not viable.

The only thing you lost is time.

You may gain the quality you want... and may not... depends on the authoring of the discs. Maybe Sony would screw up an HD DVD release just as easily as they have done with the BD releases.

So unless you need these movies RIGHT NOW, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Chances are most of them will be re-released anyways even on BD - yet another reason that buying the current releases is a bad idea.

Vote with the wallet - force change Whether that change be better BD or no BD...
