Actually, I said ALOT of bad words about HD DVD last winter

They had no players on the shelves for Black Friday-second gen was delayed so they barely got any out for Xmas. I BLASTED them for not putting out many titles December through March. Dumbest thing I'ld seen in ages. I caught alot of flack for that too.

>>>That holds true even when HD DVD discs are shown to have problems and the format is known to have a lower capacity that manifests itself as an inability to include uncompressed PCM.<<<
I haven't had many problems with HD DVD-2 discs had glitches out of 75. That's not bad, its not perfect either. As I've frequently said, I like uncompressed PCM, but its low on my priority list. My priorities go like this-1) content, 2) PQ, 3) features, 4) AQ.

>>>In other words, you say you care about quality, but it's just not manifest in your take on the two formats.<<<
No, its just that my priorities are different than yours-I don't know why you cannot accept that.

>>>I mean, your trip to the store to get a new BD player resulted in more ammunition for you to bash blu-ray. <<<
That's certainly not my fault, I didn't go there looking for problems, it just kind of hit me in the face.
BTW, I've had no problems with my Sharp player so far.
