LOL what freakin' retards - let's comment on a story and make sure our comments don't relate to it? The best and brightest right here...

Back to the topic - I'm glad HD DVD has a number to call. Blu-ray probably won't set one up 500,000 calls about why their 1.0 player won't do PIP or online content would get old really fast too. The PS3 crowd would just call the number thinking it was a free number to tell how many times they've wacked it just looking at their ps3 - They say it's sexxy....

I'm sure studios are thrilled that they are selling products at half price - wonder what this does to there overall margin - Do they have to sell twice as many discs to make the same amount of money?

I wonder if the reason for the bad croping is that they tried to release it too quickly. Could it be the process takes too long or is cubersome so their efforts were focused elsewhere - that title did have some extra next gen stuff didn't it? (dice game?) If that's the case then part of the blame would be at BD for complex software and Disney for poor QA.

@reddplague "If cheap prices can't win them this war then its over because they don't have the content that Blu-ray has."

HD DVD 265 vs Blu-ray 272.

So you think 7 movies are going to make the difference? Oh, an that doesn't include p0rn - with that it's actually:

HD DVD 270 vs Blu-ray 272 (or 273 can't actually find the bd copy for sale).

Does that count inlude the adult titles? There are 5-7 hd-dvd titles and one bd? If it doesn't it's even closer...

Wow - so no one has noticed that engadgethd totally F'd up by announcing that Target is bd exclusive - and they are wrong. This site is really starting to blow....

Engadgethd = FUD

LOL good one Rick - your pretty observant and can you do the math or what. What was the percentage of HD over bd releases last week? Um, last week HD = 4, BD = 0 I'll let the math genious figure out the percentage. LOL - Dumbass

So now BD fanboys just want movies for the movies - what ever happened to the we have more space for extras argument?

Oh, one other thing - so lets say BD does finalize the spec in October - and lets jump even further out on a limb and say they have the largest catalog of online content EVER! Um, MOST of the BD players don't have ethernet connections to access it! LOL f*&king ROFL - If I would have bought a stand alone BD player I would be very pissed right now.....

Oh, and just to be fair yes the ps3 has ethernet as well as the pioneer elite player for $1500 - my HD-A1 has had it since I bought it over a year ago. I can't wait for 300 to come out, I'm even going to buy Blood Diamond just because of the online features - a movie I never would have bought if it didn't have the online extras.

One of the main reasons you can't count all ps3's as bluray players is that only 30% of all ps3's sold are attached to high def televisions. Which is a huge reason the BD attach rate is so low. Yes, there are some people that actually bought the ps3 to just play games... Whereas with the 360 HD add on, it's only intent is to be an HD DVD player.

@ Ben,

So you have a couple used HD players? But in the post above you said you only owned a BD player WTF? When did having something not equate to ownership? You really need to stand up and just get with the program. You're starting to sound like you are sony - let's stick with some true honesty - your credibility is starting to go down with me...
