Much like in american politics, there are always about 25% of people who wouldn't know reality if it bit them on the @$$.

I cant believe that theres 230 people that think there is still hope for HDDVD

These must be the "root for the under dog" jack asses & people with 100's of HDDVD's

Blu Titan · 01-17-2008, 02:32 PM

Digital Devil · 01-17-2008, 02:38 PM

64.6%...I find it a touch odd that coming off the heels of a big 85-15 BD win saleswise there are still 30-something% that believe there is hope for HDDUD and/or just don't care. Granted it is still early in the poll but there's been like 800 votes cast already.

Bourne1 · 01-17-2008, 02:41 PM

Done! Here is something funny-

"When I can buy a Blu-ray player *with the same features as HD DVD* (i.e. Profile 2.0) for the same $150 I can buy an HD DVD player for, then, and only then, should Toshiba throw in the towel. Until that day, the tide could turn at any moment. All it takes is one studio to switch the other way and suddenly HD DVD is winning."

Oh and this one is funny too-

"How many of the respondents in favor of HDDVD throwing in the towel are PS3 owners who don't own a standalone BR player?"

Oh and this one too-

"i say screw it and leave both formats... Blu-ray sucks over-all and are already screwing customers and backers by constantly releasing new "Profiles" that can only be upgraded on the PS3... But, since theres fans on both sides of the line, i say Warner should go back to both sides and let the people choose...

You know damn well that Samsung and other Blu-Ray manufacturers are pissed that all their current players are shit after they just got settled with 1.1 and now have to go 2.0... Ohhh i love HD-DVD ethernet ports with firmware upgrades... ANOTHER thing missing in stupid blu-ray players...

and to the ones saying, "oh lets just get a winner," Youre asking for higher jacked up prices... The war brought physical media to a reasonable price... If its not priced reasonable, people will just shoot over to the internet and download it..."

ScarredLungs · 01-17-2008, 02:44 PM

I voted! How can 24% percent of the people HONESTLY believe that HD DVD still has a fighting chance. They are losing support fast, with most recent Digital Playground (i don't support their movies, but hey, they have a large following and they support blu too) and a German company just switched to blu exclusive as well. Internationally speaking, HD DVD is a major minority, more so then here is the US. They have no chance to win.
