True, my sample size is one. But your sample size is zero. I just told you that that any idiot can start a rumor on the internet and spread it around. So what do you do? You spread the rumor again. Brilliant.

Even the endgadget geek publishing that article knew to put a question mark in the headline. Why? Because he has never actually seen any Blu-ray sets with a problem. Have you? Of course not.

Its not a reflection on BD, its a packaging mess up at Warner. Crap happens.

Kind of like you kept saying Universal is going neutral soon?
Or when you said M$ gave Paramount a $150M check to sabotage HD?

  When did I ever say "Universal is going neutral soon"?
  
  I guess you can't stop at one lie so you have to start another.
  
  As for MS giving Viacom $$$...I guess you missed the news.
  Microsoft, Viacom Ink $500 Mil Ad Deal

  Dec. 20, 2007 (Investor's Business Daily delivered by Newstex) --
  
  Microsoft, a perennial also-ran to Google in online video, is flexing its financial muscle in a 5-year, $500 million advertising deal with media heavyweight Viacom.
  
  This perfectly corroborates the initial reports of MS giving huge advertising dollars to Viacom in exchange for Paramount going HD DVD exclusive.

    Some quotes from your posts:
    
    > > > Wouldn't be surprised if Universal goes "neutral" around the end of the year. < < <
    
    This sure sounds like a rumor:

    That's a little later than the Paramount deal.

    Paranoid much?
    Besides, you said they wrote Paramount a check for $150M. not the same.
