I have both formats and this is one of the dumbest ideas ever. First off wouldn't it just be easier to just invite those people over to watch the movie with you or just you and the other person your watching the movie with push the play button at the same time and talk with that person on the phone? Second the temptation to use this feature to annoy the other viewing parties (pausing, fast forwarding) would just ruin the movie viewing experience.

Who bought Chuck and Larry? That movie sucked on SD and HD

I am going to post somthing that I saw on another blog

"Though I do love how utterly easy it is to whip up geeks into a fervor over the most menial of topis. OMG Blu-ray or HD, PS3 or 360, these are the cucial battles of our time. Not hunger or AIDS.
So utterly pointless and such a waste of engery and time."

I think that sums it up

You do realize that dvdempire ONLY reports on sales of its own website.

Why do people keep saying that this new PS3 is not backwards compatible at all? They handle it now through software emulation. So for now all of the games won't work but eventually will through software updates.

Why does every post about the format war become a pissing match? The fact of the mater is that no one can predict the future and with such little information supporting both sides at this point in time no one can tell who is going to "win".

So people are saying that they are going to release a product at 250$ and then in a month mark it down to 200$. That has got to be the dumbest decision ever.
