Paramount needs to try to get every last customer WORLDwide now that they've disgracefully sold out 2/3 of the high def market.

Oh man, you are going on my ignore list SO HARD for that. Ugh.

You know what? I've changed my mind on this thread. Keep it up. My ignore list is hungry.

This is what should be argued, thus preserving the no-politics status quo.

(And "Field of Dreams" is stuck on HD.)
