You referring to the one on Michael Bay's forums?

That's the one. I had been looking forward to it, too.

reiella · 11-27-2007, 11:38 PM

Well that's part of the problem we have here. No idea if it was a community-type fan debate [like the Michael Bay one was going to be] or if it was intended to be industry folks talking at each other.

HD-DVD has had a size advantage since launch! 30GB vs 25GB! AND before you argue with me try to find a 50GB BR movie anywhere.They don't exist and 50GB hd-dvd disc's should be here any minute.
I just compared 2001 a space odyssey on a hd-a3 with planet earth on the PS3 and can easily say HD-DVD rules the roust for picture quality and interface.
IMHO

My God... *shakes head

I am speechless. FASTM3DRIVER Wins.

Hmm. Gizmodo... yeah, I am sure that is high on the BDAs list of priorities. A website that most people have never heard of. Now, if it was youtube...

Gizmodo, another site that is HD-DVD skewed.

WickyWoo · 11-28-2007, 12:58 AM

I've gotten the distinct impression it's BDA policy not to directly engage them in any kind of public forum

J_UNTITLED · 11-28-2007, 04:18 PM

Anyone else see this? Why do you suppose they decided to cancel at the last minute?

95pgtproject · 11-28-2007, 04:36 PM

no kidding blu ray should be able to KILL hd-dud in a debate why would the back out

A pretty good thread has already been started...but thanks for the heads up.

Personally, I think the BDA knows people already know Blu-ray is superior. Also, it is hard to fight a battle when you are constrained by facts and the other side is not. It's like having an argument that's going nowhere. It's just a waste of energy and time.

a debate? hah, more like a debacle.

JAGUAR1977 · 11-28-2007, 05:26 PM

Hhmmmmmmmm, a debate that would benefit who?

A website and a flagging HD-DVD format who will take every opportunity to spread FUD and confuse consumers.

Wicky, ironically this is exactly what the red ants were saying a month or so ago when the proposal for a similar debate was made by michaelbay.com moderator.

However, I have strong doubts BDA was even aware of that debate. Who knows who they sent their invitation to? I just have a feeling this was red ants' response to the aforementioned debate.

Speaking generally, instead of a debate I would probably want to see media publishing an FAQ where the typical red FUD talking points are methodically refuted in an easy to read and clear way.

WickyWoo · 11-28-2007, 06:13 PM

Well, unlike the MB.com thing, Gizmodo is a well known red anthill

Paden · 11-28-2007, 06:21 PM

If Gizmodo really wanted to do something all he'd need to do would be read the specs and refute the FUD himself. No need for a "debate". Compare the two products side by side and tell us what we already know.

"Smell of Fear"

Weak crap from a weak writer for a weak web site.

Why give more press to HDDVD?
