In Reply to: RE: I knew you'd have to come out and do a few cheers for us. posted by Audiophilander on May 21, 2008 at 00:54:12
>> We aren't discussing HD-DVD here, <<
I'm not discussing it. I'm just observing that your decisions and claims about these issues has been bass ackward and that you are still hanging on to some pathological wish for blu-ray to fail.
>> but just to keep the facts straight, you're dead wrong. The reasons aren't specious. Many folks in the industry STILL consider HD-DVD was the best shot at a next generation high resolution format for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being competitive pricing of players and media, and the fact that HD-DVD had fewer glitches and was more market ready when introduced. <<
You just said we're not discussing HD DVD and then you launch into this gushing endorsement of a dead format? Let it go, auph. It's done. Move on. Sell your doorstop and coasters and buy yourself a PS3.
>>As for being insulting, that's a laugh. In Yiddish I believe it's also called chutzpah. You're the dude who acted like a giddy fan-boy creaming yourself over every biased Blu-ray assertion and quick to ridicule those of us who had any interest in HD-DVD. Don't try spinning that baloney here because it's easy to locate your silliness in the archives. <<
You could not even deal with a simple post about Nielson ratings without making accusations like that above, peppered with childish "cheerleader" comments and other stupid insults only you could find funny. Sorry you were stupid enough to choose the losing format and sorry you were too hardheaded to understand what the numbers meant, both the specifications and the sales that clearly showed you picked the losing dog in the fight. If you're not prepared to admit you were wrong, you can't yet learn from your mistakes.

Then, as expected, you threw a hissy fit. I know you're trying to shoot the messenger, but since I also have Blu-ray that dog of your's won't hunt even if you put Dick Cheney in your cheerleader tunic to make us Progressives scatter! ;0)

All I did was correct your misrepresentation; you can quit whining anytime.

Quite a few folks were amused because they saw your antics in a similar light. BTW, what was lacking in sophistication was more than made up for in irony, and if you can't stand the pepper, ...! ;O)
FTR, I'm not disappointed in the slightest about choosing HD-DVD. FYI, I have two HD-DVD players & lots of great titles (I'm picking up more all the time as they're discounted), received a $50 bonus card from Best Buy and 5 free HD-DVDs from the second promotion to go along with those obtained during the first player's promotion! I also purchased a Panasonic Blu-ray player earlier this year (with 2 bonus discs of our choice) and the best standard DVD player on the market is winging it's way here as I type this.
Life is good! :o)
Like I said there's a lot of industry analysis going on and some insiders are beginning to have second thoughts about Blu-ray as folks seem content with the more reasonably priced standard DVD; that's why I posted my observations and the link to the article, but I don't expect you to take my word for it. Jazz, just a hint: Try learning a few new gymnastics; the ones you're using here are getting predictable.
Respectfully (rah! rah),

No, that isn't all you did. You actively ignore any positive news or information about Blu-ray, ridiculed for months those of us who didn't ignore such info. Then, even after the format war is over, you have continued to focus on any negative information about blu-ray you could sniff out and pine about HD DVD doing better if it had won. You also continue to lie about "having no dog in the fight" even though the fight's over, you're embracing the carcass of your dog that is dead.
> > Then, as expected, you threw a hissy fit. < <
No, I just pointed out why the poll appears to be irrelevant and inaccurate. Several other denizens did, too. It's no big mystery that supplanting DVD and doing battle with downloadable or streaming technologies is going to be a major challenge for Blu-ray...that was largely the point in going forward with one format for HD rather than two. Not only didn't you understand the point at that time, now you're acting like it's a new observation or that it's a negative against Blu-ray. In both cases, you're wrong.
> > All I did was correct your misrepresentation; you can quit whining anytime. < <
No that's not all you did. You said HD DVD would have a better chance of supplanting DVD. But how is that logical when HD DVD couldn't even supplant Blu-ray, despite a head start in HD DVD's introduction? You simply fail to grasp any of the technical or market factors in this discussion.
> > Quite a few folks were amused because they saw your antics in a similar light. < <
Ole bore the brunt of you and these other idiotic "folks". He essentially posted Nielson ratings, other news items and you consistently levied personal attacks against him. Your attacks against me like the one in your previous post are clearly spilling over from the other forum, so I understood it has nothing to do with video (especially since you're too stupid to effectively analyze the issues). But Ole really didn't deserve to be bashed in the manner you and your "folks" bashed him.

You do realize that I never voted for bush/cheney, don't you?
> > FTR, I'm not disappointed in the slightest about choosing HD-DVD. < <
That's very clear. No need to state the obvious, auph. In fact you're proud of your failure to make the right decision.
> > FYI, I have two HD-DVD players & lots of great titles (I'm picking up more all the time as they're discounted), received a $50 bonus card from Best Buy and 5 free HD-DVDs from the second promotion to go along with those obtained during the first player's promotion! < <
It's your money; you can throw it away however you want.

I bet you can find a good S-VHS machine and laserdisc player for cheap too! Hurry up. Ebay is calling your name. Get those titles cheap, auph!
> > Life is good! :o) < <
Yeah, but wasting your money is bad. you think you need to collect dead formats. There's a word for that: obsessive compulsive. It's nothing to be proud of.
> > Like I said there's a lot of industry analysis going on and some insiders are beginning to have second thoughts about Blu-ray as folks seem content with the more reasonably priced standard DVD; that's why I posted my observations and the link to the article, but I don't expect you to take my word for it.

Auph, few new technologies successfully supplant established formats. It doesn't require much analysis to understand that. Thankfully, the industry is moving forward with one clear winner in the HD format war. The only ones who think the losing format should have won are embittered HD DVD adopters like you. But even they seem to understand that HD DVD is now dead and it's not worth blowing more money on the format. You apparently are slow to realize these things.
