*shrugs* I haven't replaced anything in my collection except Blade Runner (and I'd have gotten that collection even if it wasn't blu-ray). New movies, if they're available in blu ray I grab them. Because The Fountain in 1080p is fucking awesome. I don't see the point in getting retarded over it with semantics.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

WUT.

You obviously didn't hear about triple layer HD-DVDs, which do 51gb.

And Transformers is simply because they didn't want to. They had nearly all the special features in HD instead. The DD+ track is excellent.

And bandwidth? Both formats do full 1080p with lossless sound, and HD-DVD had been doing HDi features much earlier than Blu-Ray got their competition working.

So yeah, what improvements were that again?


That's a great SlayerX impression you do.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That may be the case with Transformers, but Batman Begins is just as long and has an in-movie experience, Dolby TrueHD, and ALL of it's special features all on one disc, and Batman is one of the best looking HD-DVD's around. Granted, the special features aren't all in HD, but it's obvious the only reason Transformers doesn't have TrueHD is because Paramount didn't put it there.

And I haven't heard of a single reviewer actually say Blu-Ray releases look better than HD-DVD, bandwidth be damned.
And Blu-Ray massively outsells HD-DVD. And studios are already deciding which format they want to work with. So really, there are upsides and downsides to both formats, but it's going to be decided by who supports which format, and frankly, with groups like Tartan and Warner going Blu-Ray exclusive, it's looking like the industry is leaning in a certain direction.

Also, you missed the biggest reason why HD should win, you putz. Michael Bay says Blu Ray suits his films better. God knows it makes me consider HD-DVD a little more if it would piss off Michael Bay.

Seriously, though. Fanboyism. Knock it the fuck off.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Can we please not turn this into a Sony vs Microsoft battle? LESS fanboyism, not more.

When did Microsoft enter this argument? You're the first guy who mentioned that company. CONGRATULATIONS YOU JUST RUINED THE THREAD
Fuck! I knew I was falling for a trick. Extrapolating from an argument makes an extra out of you, and lating out of me. Or something.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Blu-ray standalones cost just as much as a damn PS3. It simply would be STUPID to not buy one.

And I just found this tidbit (Spider-Man 3 swings strong sales - 11/2/2007 - Video Business)

Transformers BROKE SALES RECORDS FOR HD (HDDVD.com - Your HD DVD Resource » Blog Archive » Transformers Sets HD Sales Record) and still beat Spider-Man 3 two weeks later (Spider-Man 3 swings strong sales - 11/2/2007 - Video Business)
Please tell me I don't need to explain to you the concept of one movie vs all movies in terms of sales. Please.

FELIPE NO

God, just stop already. Please. This is a pointless discussion that's come down to nothing but fanboyism and griping.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Actually, he stated he hasn't picked a side yet. It's in there. In the middle. But my point is, we're rehashing the same arguments over and over again. Nothing new has been said in a long while, here.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
