"A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw-man argument" is to create a position that is easy to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent." - Wikipedia

As I've said before, my belief is that both formats are destined to be mass-market failures.

Now - please explain how that makes me a "HD DVD fanboy."

I provide information, often with links, please respong to the information, not me the messenger.

Anyway the DVD format sold 349,000 players in the first year in USA, at USD 489.97 average price. Source CE historical at www.ce.org

HD DVD and Blu Ray combined have sold 250,000 stand alone players, plus 1.500,000 Sony PS3 and 150,000 drives for X box.

Does HD players look like a failure compared to DVD?
