But, according to those same people, BD50 was never going to exist, so it's a mute point, right?

While we're just making stuff up, I say HD DVD has 6 profiles (1 for each player, plus the XBox add-on, since they all use different firmware) with three more coming from Toshiba. And, if we can count an out-of-space error as an extra profile that make 12, plus a not connected to internet error as a bonus 6 (we're up to 18) and the combo no internet plus no more storage error, and HD DVD has 24... plus new models coming in the near future which will easily add 3 profiles a piece! If all of Microsoft thought the way Amir did, they would never have gotten Windows 1.0 out the door... much less XP and Vista.

Oh, yeah. And everyone on AVS thinks I'm a 'Project Hydra' plant. I could really use the money, and I HAVE devoted an entire blog to Blu-ray/PS3 so I think I'm entitled. Please PM me, and I'll happily provide information on where to send the checks.
