Lee Stewarts confession from AVS

Let me put this as plain and simple as I can. This is a prank . . a hoax. How do I know? Because the person who started it sent me a PM telling me. I promised not to reveal his real screen name.(he opened that account on BD.com for the strick purpose of starting the rumor) We had about a dozen PM's between us discussing what he did and why he did it.

Why me? Because he felt as one of the more ardent HD DVD supporters, I would get a kick out of what he did.

So if you want to continue to discuss this "rumor" go right ahead. But I have given you the truth of the matter.

For once I believe Lee Stewart.

Please post the link and post number where Lee said this?

Good morning everyone so, where are we at as far as debating/investigation? I left it about seven hours ago in hopes of getting some sleep--I left it with the Aussies to battle it out.

We'll find out in two hours.

I'd like to see the link and post number at AVS where Lee said this was hoax, please.

I would think Lee would be someone who would have relished such a hoax playing out for all the obvious reasons.

I' m "live" in front of WB studios in Burbank, CA.
I can assure everyone.........there aint squat going on here right now.

Looks like an ordinary day. Folks pulling into the parking lot. Opps, one lady just dumped coffee in her lap going over a speed bump. There's another guy carring a briefcase. Ufortunately, no media trucks...no Blu-ray banners.

I'll give another update at 9:00AM if anything changes.

So soon after reading that there is no difference between 720 and 1080 I simply cannot force myself to believe him anything. As little as I can force myself to believe in this rumor..

Edit: And anyway, why would he spoil all the fun for the HD DVD crowd when they could just sit back and have a laugh?

Seems easy enough to issue a simple deny statement.

Maybe because the WB exec are not awake yet? They probably won't get in until about 9am and then have to be informed about this (assuming people at WB are aware of this).

Hey, what happened to the gate operation from earlier?

[koreyman]

If this is a rumor or a prank I want it to be a blu supporter high on a crack pipe not a hd-dvd guy who wants crack so he can convence heself the red is winning

Like I said, of all people, I would think Lee would be amongst the first to relish allowing a hoax like this to play out to full fruition for all the obvious reasons.

gotta figure WB is getting a lot of calls over this, you would think they'd issue a press statement ASAP.
