Why do you even need to ask such a question?

Are you trying to set the stage for another strawman argument? If so, you're wasting your time, because you just don't seem to be able to mount a cogent debate no matter how much you try.

>>for valid reasons you pretend don't exist.<<

You really make yourself look ridiculous by perpetuating these strawman arguments.

>>You critize HD video formats for being niche<<

Criticize? Nonsense. Criticism would be saying something like, "They are no good because they are niche products." That isn't anywhere close to what I said, though I'm sure you wish it was. I merely said that I don't believe either will ever become a mainstream consumer product. How exactly is that criticism? Are you so wrapped up in format worship that you see anything that isn't a glowing testimony as criticism?

>>Doesn't make sense to me<<

That's not surprising. It's sad, but unsurprising.

>>You still seem angry about this fanboy stuff. <<

It does trouble me that you can't seem to distinguish between anger and amusement. Have you considered therapy? It might benefit you.

To make the point that it's about quality and nothing else - Jazz Inmate 09:12:57 09/29/07 (2)
just putting forth my views on the off chance they will not be misconstrued. It's not about whether the formats will be mass-marketed. It's not even about how long the format will be marketed at all.

Both of which are hypothetical points right now with no one having a real crystal ball.

It's about the HT experience and the quality. It's also about choosing which of the formats to support. Supporting both sends the wrong message to the industry which then works against a) mass market adoption and b) aligned studio support, by virtue of continuing down a path of competing sides. Once the better choice is clear, why mess around? No good reason.

  For some people, sure. For you, apparently not.

  I wonder if it's possible for you to understand that within just a few sentences in the same post, you have contradicted yourself? Probably not.

  Oh, I agree. Once the better choice is clear, there will be no reason to "mess around." However, the choice is not yet clear - at least not in the real world.
  - nope. Otherwise you wouldn't have adopted SACD or DVD-A - Jazz Inmate 16:21:50 09/29/07 (0)
    Don't get angry. LOL
