The war will be decided not by enthusiasts on a forum, but everyday joe's walking into a wal-mart. Don't get me wrong, if I had a choice I would choose Blu-Ray, but I don't have any kind of allegiance to either.. I want to watch movies in HD, regardless of what kind of disc it is. Let the studios battle it out: for 179 dollars, I don't have to worry about who has what exclusive. When (If) the dust settles, I'll still have my HD movies & can still watch them. The Paramount move was big.. and I wouldn't be surprised to see Warner switch too: they've favored HD-DVD the entire time. Regardless, as I said it doesn't matter anymore to me.

I will never pledge allegiance to Sony, Toshiba or any other company. It's their collective fault we are in a "format war". They don't care about me & my pocketbook, so why should I care about them & theirs?

I would say welcome but that's not a favorable first post. I suppose i'll be nice and say hello anyway.

you do realize though that this is all in fun right? we love our blu ray movies and believe that it is a better format, but no one is being shot as a traitor.

so please don't trample on our little blu army men while we have some fun. besides we're all just alter egos of ourselves on here anyways.

but influx does have a point. its like buying a dvd player then going and buying a laserdisc player because there's a movie on there that isn't out on dvd yet.

and since my earlier post I went and had a chorizo burrito. mmmmm good mexican food.
