>> Its not just AVS, its most non-extremists. Most people just care about the picture, and couldn't care less about specs. <<Except that capacity is a very visible spec. It's like saying most people couldn't care less about height. Add to that the fact that "most people" are not early adopters who are evaluating the merits of two new formats and your argument is clearly wrong. That's why blu-ray is outselling HD DVD handily. So I guess you think most early adopters are "fanboys" or "extremists"?
>> Do you realize how *insane* that sounds? <<
Do you realize how insane you sound to repeatedly, purposefully disregard a >40% disparity in capacity between two competing HD formats?
>> Yes, and as we've discussed many times before, not everyone gives it [audio] such a high priority in relation to video. <<
Not everyone cares about HD for that matter. Not everyone cares about quality. Most consumers just care about cost. I thought the denizens of this website did care about quality, but you're starting to prove me wrong. The weird thing is that you seem proud of that.
>> I don't know why you still cannot grasp that simple concept. <<
I grasp it. I just think we as early adopters have a responsibility to choose the best format and not just go for the cheaper format or play both sides of the fence. But, hey, that's me and I'm a fanboy because I think capacity is important in an HD format.
