>> Ironically, SONY and it's rabid supporters, like you and OLC, have helped put both HD disc formats on life support. <<
You're delusional. All we've done is adopted the superior format. You had the misfortune of hastily adopting the inferior format. That's your problem, but don't blame us for your poor decision.
>> You whined about the potential death of HD formats and ominous threat of internet movie providers looming on the horizon, but by running down one format to the exclusion of other possibilities you've only succeeded in backing your fan-boy vans up to the downloading dock so that bitstream providers can accept your anti-climactic bill of lading. <<
First of all, by your own logic, you are in the same boat as me, as you've adopted only one format to the exclusion of the other. But the bigger picture, that you're still apparently too stupid to understand, is that a market bearing two formats that claim to do the same thing--like DVD-A and SACD or VHS and beta--is confusing to consumers. They will not enter that market until it is clear which format to buy. I'm very sorry you're too stupid to understand this very simple principle that has been proven time and again. Here again, for your edification, is Kevin Tsujihara, President, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group:
"A two-format landscape has led to consumer confusion and indifference toward high definition, which has kept the technology from reaching mass adoption and becoming the important revenue stream that it can be for the industry."

What do you disagree with there?
