[JohnAlden]

It's Very Great to have you here Bill Hunt

[Brain Sturgeon]

Wild Bill-- great to have you around. There were just a number of people mentioning on the insider thread how we should extend you a warm invite.

Warmest welcome to the site, and countless thanks for the many tidbits of information and commentary that you have shared on the 'bits.

Cheers!

If anyone still has any doubts, I can confirm that it is indeed the "real" Bill Hunt of The Digital Bits, welcome to the forum Bill!

I don't think it is so much doubt as curiosity as to why his profile status is still "member" and not "The Bill Hunt" or something along those lines.

One of these titles is not like the others... one of these titles just doesn't belong...

Sir, A big welcome and a big appreciation for all your efforts.

If it hasn't already been done, he should be added to the insider list.

[Seretur]

As a longtime devoted reader of The Bits -- welcome to the forum, Bill!

Glad to finally have you here, and you might find this forum less ...unpleasant than some.

Also good to hear about the Fox titles -- and you're probably the only person who could inform us of YET ANOTHER delay of M&C and not raise my hackles. Here's hoping none of these are barebones!

Welcome Bill, you're now more popular then ever because of the 'Downfall of HD DVD' LOL

Read you're 2c blog each day! since you're site existed..

[mtmw1863]

His title should be changed from "New Member" to something like "5 Star General"

We're still trying to come up with some clever user title

Bill, I've been an avid reader of the Bits since the DVD/DIVX days and you've always provided superb information and valued opinions. A very warm welcome to the forum.

Welcome to blu ray.com Bill Hunt

[Manco]

This is great news!

It's an honor and a privilege sir to have you aboard.

Warm WELCOME!

[Guinness7]

I would love to see Patton amd the Longest Day on blu-ray. They are two very long, but very good WWII movies and would love to have. If I remember they tried to do something like this last year as well for fatherday. Oh and welcome to the forum.

Welcome Bill! I'm glad you decided to drop by here!

I love your site, and have been a reader almost since it's inception. Your article about Blu-ray being the choice of TheDigitalBits, back in the summer, was what inspired me to jump on the Blu-ray bandwagon. So, thanks for all of your informative, and thought-provoking articles.

I'm glad you've had the balls to stick with your guns throughout this whole format mess too. I lot of sites seemed neutral but with a red slant, or possibly a blu-slant. But I like how you stated your position and continued to report the news in general. Kudos to you!

I do have one question... you mentioned right after all the WB stuff, about Paramount and Universal possibly jumping to Blu very soon, is this still most likely the case, even though it maybe out a ways?

Welcome Bill!!

Great to have you here and thanks for bringing such good news - fantastic to see Battle of Britain and Bridge Too Far getting back on the release schedule.

Wow! What a honor to have you here! I check your site everyday and love the news and updates you provide! A must for me to get my fix.

Welcome.

No one is going to "accuse" you of being Pro Blu-Ray here Bill!

Awsome as can be to see you on this amazing site! Hope it becomes your second home.

All those other titles sound really good. Will be nice to see them on Blu-ray!
