I think he means it will rock just about as much as syphillis does

Lets face it! HD DUD is overwith once the nielsens come in on friday.

but that is the last string of hope for the DUDers. Transformers didnt work, Shrek 3rd didnt work, I dont see Bourne or HP working... what do they have left?!?! Oh yeah, the firesale!..... yeah its done

I think he's smokin a crack rock.

CINEOS · 12-20-2007, 06:49 AM

If your HD-DVD will Rock, Blu will Paper. WE will WIN!!

Maybe we should ignore all the PS3s that will be unwrapped.

I personally don't think standalones on either side are likely to have huge numbers opened on Christmas day, with PS3s and the add-on for the XBOX360 being the kinds of items that are more likely to be purchased as Christmas gifts. The PS3 has been over 150k per week for the US recently and I wouldn't be surprised if 1/3rd or more of those were Christmas gifts. We saw last year that Microsoft sold 92k of the add-ons in the last 6 weeks or so of 2006 according to NPD, yet after Christmas it was Blu-ray that got the big bump in the sales ratio between the formats. This year the PS3 looks like it is selling faster than last year, but not sure the add-on is, given the most recent NPD numbers for it (only around 200k for the whole year).

BTW: I hope the Blu-ray side has some specials on discs in stores the day after Christmas, just as a reminder to those who got a player for the other side for Christmas of what they are missing out on (if they don't have Blu-ray).

Must be a typo. I think he meant "Flop".

turboedguy · 12-20-2007, 06:55 AM

yeah, people will recieve HD DVD players only this Christmas, 12/31 is in the bag for HD DVD!

Again, the PS3s must not count.

Rock, as in sinking like a rock?

NJMetsFan · 12-20-2007, 07:00 AM

I think he ment sink like a rock, because if I received one as a gift I would throw in the nearest lake or ocean.

mugen302005 · 12-20-2007, 07:00 AM

To the op, thanks for helping me make up my mind: I'm not neutral anymore.

Nope that would be what the icon is for.

STI Jaguar · 12-20-2007, 07:05 AM
