I heard someone call them HDs. That just hurt my head.

Sometime you just need to add someone to the ignore filter.... I refuse to debate with someone who uses today's technology to compare to the opposing technology from 2 years ago. That is like when I sit at home on my new PC vs sitting at the PC that it replaced that is in my oldest daughter's room. Night and day difference, but that "old" PC was kick ass 2 years ago. The argument sounds like when I talk to the guys at work with their iPhones and iPads... They have fully drank into the Apple KoolAid.... Not saying that they are bad products, but some peoples' justification for them, and their own superiority complex about them gets old, especially when it isn't true... Technology changes and evolves on a regular basis. For about 6 weeks, I had what many called "the worlds best cell phone"... It is the Droid Incredible. Then the iPhone 4 comes out... My phone still trumps it in several areas, but not in others... There will be a new Android phone coming soon that will beat the iPhone as well. Things change, but for periods of time, there are winners, and in its day the HD-DVD product was a winner, but lost to another product that (after a little more development and time) was a winner too. There is nothing to argue here. No more to see. Move along people....

Oh, and no offense to you happy Apple lovers. I grabbed that photo from elsewhere and found it humorous...

Yes your right for the 3 months HD DVD was the sole format it was the bomb. I also agree with you on tech though you make a very good point. I bought my Samsung I8910 over a year ago and the specs on it still kills that of the Iphone 4. And most entry level Android phones kill it as well, let alone the higher end Android products like your Droid.
But I never compared today's Blu to HD DVD it was facts about then not now
Your love HD DVD I never tried to stop that. But for you to say Blu Ray was a later gen product is crazy. They were months apart
And you sir are more than welcome to ignore I find your announcing of it childish. I have not posted as much as half the people here have. But your the only one who seems to need to ignore me.
For the last 4 years its been my job to review things, so believe me when I say I drink no Kool Aid. If I did I would be fired or working at aicn.
I also want to add I never wanted to argue over Blu Vs HD DVD. I just saw somethings that were wrong and wanted to correct. I was not looking to argue, or start a flame war. I completely understand the love for dead or losing formats. I still play NFL 2K on my Dream Cast. But if I was to hear some say the Dream Cast was superior to the PS2. I would have to correct, while the Dream Cast was my fave system. The PS2 was better in every way.

Personally I only ignor trolls... Someone looking to start an unwinnable arguement by presenting skewed facts or having a general lack of open mindedness that shows no ability to acknowledge someone else's point of view period. I see none of that here. Just spirited conversation. Which is what each of us is here for, no? Carry on.

iphones,Droids, for crying out loud, I already have a camera, a tv, several gaming platforms, don't they making anything anymore that just makes a fricking call and doesn't require you have a specific charger so you can charge it anywhere! That I will buy.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
