Seriously though, as mad as I get in disagreement with any of these guys on here, I don't lose sleep over it let alone try and physically threaten anyone.]]>Nov 7th 2007 5:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/Nov 7th 2007 5:53PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
I wonder if any of the peeps work for Sony or Toshiba, whose jobs are at stake and REALLY must have one "win" or at least stay afloat]]>Nov 7th 2007 5:58PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/Nov 7th 2007 6:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/




I kid I kid. :)]]>Nov 7th 2007 6:05PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
Since you're an HD-DVD fan (and obviously anti-BD) is your intent here to showcase the general crappy attitude, remorse, and insecurity of all HD-DVD-only supporters?

I also find it funny that you are trying to incite that cam is anti-BD and some how stereo typing HD-DVD supporters? Kettle calling the pot black. The same thing could be said about you, looking back through your posts, you are no better if what you say is even true. If only you could get past your biased views and stop spreading your FUD. ]]>Nov 7th 2007 6:58PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
Actually dipsh*t, it's people like you and h4Idol (probably one and the same) that cause these type of problems. Endless flame posts by you and your buddies turn what should be constructive criticism for or against a format to a virtual turf war. And your continual refusal to offer any supporting evidence to support your views frankly deserves to be answered by people like myself who love to insult the ignorant. I would love to stop calling you a d-bag, tool, troll, etc., if you just back up what you are talking about. If you did, we all would respect you, regardless of what camp you claim. We all know that it's not a matter of you can't do but that you choose not to. So jag-off once you and h4Idol are tired of pumping each other bareback, we here would like you to provide us with facts supporting your views.

...And that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so!]]>Nov 7th 2007 7:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
Thanks.]]>Nov 7th 2007 7:30PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/Nov 7th 2007 7:51PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/Nov 7th 2007 9:24PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
The formats have just gone militant.

I bet we'll be seeing Osama-like video announcements by h4ldol showing up pretty soon, and Toshiba announcing that Bluray is in the Axis of Evil.

We are all passionate for our formats, but if you really love HD, comrade, you must grab your gun and take to the streets.]]>Nov 7th 2007 6:32PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
I mean, I want HDVD to win, but I don't want Sony execs to die, and I certainly don't want BR supporters to lose their money. I just chose the format because I like it more, for a variety of reasons. I understand BR guys are the same on the other side, so why can't we just engage in spirited debate?

More importantly, can we agree to watch each others backs and ostracize any member of *any* camp that pushes this too far? You'd better believe I'm telling someone to cut it out if he offers to "kick BluRay supporters in the teeth", even though he's "in my camp". I don't want anyone "in my camp" that can't understand this is a competition in a vacuum, that doesn't amount to anything in real life (except the amount on the checks the heads of our respective companies get at the end of the year).

I think that's the problem.. apparently these guys' HD players must perform sexual acts on them or something, other wise why the eff would they be so defensive of their players? I mean I love my HD-DVD player and all.. but I sure as sh*t wouldn't kill over it.. hell the only reason I don't have a Blu-Ray player is because they're so damned overpriced right now.]]>Nov 7th 2007 7:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/Nov 7th 2007 7:32PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/Nov 7th 2007 7:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
If that happened, does that mean "J6P" won or they were fighting themselves? Don't let h4Idol know.]]>Nov 7th 2007 7:18PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
Possible admission from HDpurist and/or h4Idol: "It's my sexbox! And her name is Sony".

If you think HD DVD supporters have a snarky, immature attitude, why don't you go dredge up some of the post-paramount announcement at Blu-ray dot com's forums. Even mention HD DVD there in a positive light, and you'll be banned.]]>Nov 8th 2007 8:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
My guess is the offenders are xbox add on owning and ps3 owning, living in their parents basement, losers. Meaning it's probably kids acting this way. If you go to blu-ray.com and read a dozen posts you're bound to find 8 poorly written, 8th grade level works of fiction. I have been able to find a few reasonable adults there though.

I'm sure avs was the same way but I never went there.]]>Nov 7th 2007 7:53PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
Also, the average age at AVS is more like 35 than 13 :)]]>Nov 8th 2007 9:02AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/Nov 7th 2007 8:17PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/format-war-gets-more-warlike/
So why you bring my past posts here? My comment HERE implies NOTHING. If we're gonna look at past posts, then why do all of your previous posts make you look like a dumbass?

Question, what's the protocol for posting on a story both on engadgetHD and regular Engadget? Should the story only be posted on one site or the other? Should the comment section be shared? Having two separate comment threads to follow is kind of a drag, can you guys simplify it somehow?

Thanks,

Marshall

This is a sign that the Apocalypse is near -- h4Idol calling for peace and respect. All joking aside, it's nice to see that you've posted something meaningful for a change.

Deadplasmacell said he's checking the back of his machine to see if it has an extra slot, ROFL, maybe a few more should as well!

Me, I think HDpurist is h4 by another name, and I don't want to flame (for once), but if you stick your chin out, you can only expect to get it whacked(metaphorically)with such lame comments

Yes, I support both formats because getting into both formats can now be had for $500, which is what DirecTV wants from me to replace my two standard def DVRs with high def DVRs (and Comcast can't even tell me what HD channels are offered).]]>Nov 8th 2007 5:47AM
