Could Warner Bros. Abandon HD DVD in 2008?

You also defend replication costs of 30% more than HD DVD as "negligable." It may be for some small company, but for a Studio like Warners who has things pressed in the millions it's not so negligable.

Quit attacking posters. None of your angry little posts towards me are going to change that HD DVD is cheaper in both manufacturing and replication. You can keep attacking parts of things all you want. If it makes you happy.

I'm not angry, I just enjoy pointing out your misinformation and showing that you're nothing more than a shill.

As for Sony, the press release was about THEIR Blu-ray replication facilities so of course they're only talking about their three factories.

Jeez, that this needs explained shows how you're trying to spin something out of nothing.

Now please do all of us a favor and quit attacking posters.

Yes, let's just backpeddle a few pages here shall we?

Now excuse me while I:
a) present you with your Oscar for most dramatic role
b) give you some room to get your foot out of your mouth

I know Bill and Harry are bought and paid for. Neither will deny it either.

Bill has denied it. You said so when you said:

He admits receiving gifts and special treatment. He claims that doesn't mean he's bought.

Being "bought and paid for" isn't receiving product. It's when you discard your own view and adopt the view of a sponsor to foster financial/personal gain. Bill has stated clearly that the opinions he expressed as HIS OWN. He's always been a voice to promote what he feels is the best direction for the HT community. He did it with DVD/DIVX. He did it with anamorphic encoding. He's doing it now with BD/HD DVD.

All industry sites and high-profile spokespersons receive various gifts such as products, invitations, screener discs, exclusive interviews, sneak-peaks, etc. That's not being bought and paid for.

Paramount received 150 million to sign an exclusivity contract with Toshiba. *That* is being bought and paid for.

Doby quit being a jerk.

Please.

You said you posted links about more replication lines being in use, and none of your links discuss this at all. I pointed that out.

You need a psychiatrist. I don't work for a HD DVD company and never have. That can't be said about BD. You have no idea who you're talking to, but you're willing to post a lot of nonsense on here to try and disprove someone while you ignore 90% of the rest.

That's the same stuff that made me refuse to ever post on AVS. Please quit trying to start things because it makes you out as an immature brat.

Easy guys.

Its an HD disc forum not people discussing Abortion.

Its important to keep the debate civil but pointed.

Thanks
