The war isnt over....

World War II references:

D-day was the Allied invasion of Europe at Normandy. It was the beginning of the end for the war.

V-E Day was the day that the war in Europe officially ended with the surrender of Nazi Germany.

V-J Day was the end of the war in the Pacific with the surrender of Japan (though after two nuclear bombs were dropped, thats where the analogy kind of breaks down)

This thread is mainly to encourage people to continue to buy Blu-ray, so there is no doubt that we finish off HD DVD and the fact that there are some bad ass Movies out right now.

Redstag??

Do you mean red as in HD-DVD red or are you referring to the Reichstag which was and is the name for the German parliament building, where Soviet forces raised their flag after invading Berlin. It is important to note that Reichstag does not refer in anyway to The Third Reich. Currently the parliament is called the Bundestag while the building is still called the Reichstag.

Oh. I get it. I was just going to quit purchasing BDs altogether now that we have won WW2, but you make an excellent point. I'll get out there tomorrow and put up the good fight against FVD Video!

Given that the major backers of our format are Sony and Matsushita (Panasonic), do we really need to make World War II references?

It seems in poor taste given that we're fighting for a format developed by Japanese companies.
