Once Blu-ray has defeated Toshiba's HD DVD, should Toshiba be held accountable? - Blu-ray Forum

Business is business. Besides, should we hold Sony accountable for losing the Beta / VHS war of the 1980's?

Let it go.

agreed, this is all business and people need to stop taking it personally.

when you have THAT much invested where the line between business and personal begins to blur youve gone too far, imo.

I believe in the BD product, im at teh mercy of the corperations....if HD DVD wins out, i will adopt that format, simple as that, im a realist in the end and simply want a progressive technology even if its only a step forward instead of a leap like BD.

No, but I do think that some of HD's biggest fan boys (they know who they are) should have their nipples hot waxed by Rosie O'Donnell.

They aren't nazi's dude. It's not like they are hunting down blu-ray fan-boys and putting them in camps or anything. This isn't Nuremberg.

That's some funny sh*t right there.

If this were Nuremberg the war would be over and the HD DVD-ites on trial.

IT would be like holding George Bush accountable for being an idiot, it is impossible.

Yea betamax lost when it was used commercially in broadcasting for 20 years up until hd broadcasts (wait and sony still produces most hd broadcasts). Obviously beta was a failure when it was the commercial standard for 20 years oh and laser disc was a failure since it was around for 15 years (and was the first to feature pcm audio), get your facts straight.

sigh.

w_tanoto · 10-06-2007, 08:28 AM

well, just move on if it's possible.....
but if i am HD DVD owner, I won't be a happy man, and I certainly plans to sue both tosh and ms.
I wouldn't sue BD, because I know it's superior format and it's going to stay due to ps3 base fans.

bhampton · 10-06-2007, 08:30 PM

Toshiba should buy me some Blu Rays to make up for it.

Not because that would be right but because I would really enjoy that.

oldmike · 10-06-2007, 09:00 PM

my hope is it just end soon
the only one i am mad at is the FUD spiners and M$

I'm talking on a consumer level. And I never mentioned laser disc. Get the facts straight.
