In Reply to: he picked the wrong format to collect and then pronounces himself a "collector" posted by Jazz Inmate on January 4, 2008 at 16:48:37:
Call it "support" or whatever euphemism you like, but you've effectively established yourself as this forum's leading fan-boy and pompom carrying cheerleader for SONY and Blu-ray. You might as well admit it, take your bows or do a split if you can find sufficient flexibility for such a maneuver.The bottom line is that you, more than anyone else, worship the god of Blu-ray at the alter of SONY in preference to approaching this issue logically, as an aficionado of movies. Capacity issues notwithstanding, a film collector would be interested in obtaining the best copy of favorite films as available, regardless of the format; that's why I endorsed a dual format player solution.
Feel free to continue thumping your chest and doing cartwheels over Warner's announcement if you like. However, I suspect (with no small degree of apprehension), that if indeed the field is narrowed it will not be the magic bullet for consumers that you seem to hold with such a high degree of confidence. One thing I can say without equivocation is that I'm sure this issue will be revisited many times in the weeks and months to come.
