I repeat, "If you didn't mean it in that way, then that's fine. Hopefully you can see how someone might see your words in that light."

No, that isn't what I said. In fact by not purchasing the Blu ray player or the Blu ray disks you are getting involved. <br

If you didn't mean it in that way, then that's fine. Hopefully you can see how someone might see your words in that light. I tend to be pretty passionate about the things I enjoy (can you tell?) so when I sense someone saying "don't be so passionate about it", that's an alien concept to me.

@Think: You seem to be saying that people should not get engaged in an issue to advocate for something which they feel strongly about. I enjoy home theater. Should I basically just deprive myself of that enjoyment because two companies are fighting over which format of disc is better? I just don't subscribe to that view.

Nobody is forcing me to buy a new DVD player and I, in fact, never intend to buy one. I am tired of a new format comming out every 10 minutes. I wont subscribe to cable either because the cable company wont sell me just the channels I want. If I knew that the DVD media I buy now would last and be playable for 100 years and the player standard wouldn't change for 40 years then I may care about Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. Have some discipline...if you don't like what is h... [ More ]

Greedy companies take over a product that's easier, cheaper and better for the consumer and fix it so you have to use their's and the other ones won't work and it will cost more, not better and you won't be able to use the one that works for you. Sign the petition. They will stop supporting the one that works for you and will you be forced to buy their's. It probably won't do any good because money talks but a least you can say you did something to stop it. We don't want a... [ More ]

Sony, for all its popularity as a mass-consumer products company, is just plain horrible from the point of view of people who care about quality audio and video. The HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray thing actually exemplifies their general positions pretty clearly. I'll get a little technical, but hopefully not so much that I'll lose people. The Blu-Ray standard is much harder for companies to develop for, because all the programs written for each disc need to be written in Java, rather tha... [ More ]

I really don't care...I am really tired of format vs. format and 10 minutes from now it wont matter because there will be a newer and better standard comming along. My next purchase will be a converter box for HDTV through the coupon program.....and it will be for my circa 1983 color TV!
