No, Ben, the point is that we don't want ANY bias -- not Blu-Ray, not HD DVD!
There have been PLENTY of examples of biased summaries in only the past few days where something HD DVD related was in some way demeaned or degraded in the summaries. Yesterday's summary for the "Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player: $100" was probably the epitome of your bias. "Weaker, cheaper player". "Last-gen TV". (Granted, that was Ryan's doing.) All one needs to do is look at the comments and see that a LOT of people were upset by the degrading summary.
Everyone has their personal preferences. That's fine. I personally don't care either way. I just want this damned format war to end with a winner or come to a stalemate like the DVD-R/DVD+R battle. But this week just seems to have been particularly nasty towards HD DVD with a lot of unnecessary jabs - some subtle, some not.
