>>> "Do you realize how insane you sound to repeatedly, purposefully disregard a >40% disparity in capacity between two competing HD formats?" <<<
Do YOU realize how insane YOU sound to repeatedly, purposefully disregard the reality of paying 100% or more for players when that >40% disparity in capacity isn't utilized?
Give it a rest! You can't win this argument with the kind of skewed logic you're weaving, but I'm sure you'll try (ad nauseum).
>>> "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." <<<
Are you talking about actual quality, or capacity? Those two terms are NOT interchangeable, dude! True, most consumers, including discriminating audio/videophiles care about cost factors to some extent. Maybe you come from the "money is no object" and "expensive must be better" school of thought, but I've got news for you: not every denizen of this website has this mindset! Are you PROUD of being a fanboy, cheerleading one format over another with arguments that are flimsy at best and don't hold up to scrutiny in side by side comparisons?
>>> "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." <<<
What's with this "responsibility" thing? Folks on this forum should just take up a collection, buy you a pom-pom and be done with it! ;^D
Riddle me this fanboy: Why should an early adopter buy into a format that YOU decree is best when his/her favorite pictures may only be available in the other format?
Keep in mind that capacity is a fluctuating thing as well. New codecs and multi-layering strategies could easily make the capacity factor moot in the very near future.
Food for thought.
