RE: "YOU admitted that cost was a major (I say THE major) consideration" - I haven't forgotten...

>> I raise the specter of mtrycrafts because you have developed a similar modus operandi: one of frequent obnoxious posts, posturing, cheer-leading, and distortions based on the religious support of one technology or agenda. <<

Apparently, your confusion has spread from HD media to other areas. mtrycrafts was the guy who became notorious for claiming all cables sound the same and $100 CD players have the same audio as $5000 CD players. Since your position is that two HD media with vastly different capacities are qualitatively equivalent, YOU are essentially mtrycraft in this argument.

>> Oh yeah, Jazz pleas the "poor me" defense after a parade of posts where he dished out loads of derogatory comments in the direction of folks who failed to support his Blu-ray agenda. <<

I don't care if you support blu-ray or not. I do care if you pretend capacity and audio are not important characteristics and try to lie about price being your most important concern after you pretty much already admitted it.

>> the ZS KEKL reference isn't character assassination; in your case it's type-casting. He's merely the yin to your yang; the A side to your B side; the heads to your tails! <<

Not even remotely. ZS isn't a detail oriented person, and though you seem to have that capacity it hit the snooze button when you wanted to wake up and choose an HD format.

>> You're both cheer-leaders albeit from opposite poles, or maybe should I say polarizations, but as incredible as it may seem, I think that you're even more of a fan-boy than he! <<

That's because you're irrational. I've already told you, if HD DVD had greater capacity, that's the format I would have adopted. It's a logical position, whereas your decision to adopt HD DVD can't be explained by logic. You're the format fanboy and I'm merely an advocate for choosing greater capacity, as are directors like Michael Bay and Stephen Spielberg who care about they way their films are produced for their fans. That's why there is no way you can win this argument. Maybe you haven't read Bay's latest comments:

"Does anyone out here want to challenge what I feel suits my films better in terms of look. I see every frame of my films over a hundred times before it is ever released. I know the lighting conditions I shot it and the result on the DI. I know the range. I know what the final product should look like - Blu Ray suits my films better. But that said - I don't a care about this format war because I have both formats in my screening room - I'm just filling you in on what people deep in the film industry feel ultimately is going on"
