  ...don't look now, but that fashionable tin-foil hat you're wearing is falling down around your ears. ;^D
  
  The fact that you consider yourself a savvy consumer is a riot; you should be working for Letterman (ooops, too late; he recently settled with his comedy writers). ;0)

  LOL! It's a hobby (nothing more, nothing less), my pompom-pas 'friend', not a life support system; it's supposed to be fun, get a grip.

  My support has consistently been for a dual format solution; I still favor it for several really good reasons which are apparently above your 'pay grade' (intellectually speaking). The fact that this information fails to sink in each time it's downloaded to you suggests that there must be a glitch in your memory capacity (maybe you should ship your brain to SONY for a reboot while it's still under warranty! -grin).

    Yeah, it's fun to watch movies regardless of definition. So if fun is your middle name, there's no reason to adopt either HD format. We're into the pursuit of higher quality audio and video and that's why we're on the bleeding edge.
    
    You know, auph, we go over these same discussions constantly. You're just not honest. You're not a savvy consumer. You remind me of a ditzy girl.

      And you remind me of George S-F-B Bush, and if you ever figure out what those letters represent you'll know that I don't mean that in a good way.
      
      If you put those frilly blue pompoms down for five minutes and actually thought about how silly and transparent it is for you to act as an unpaid shill for SONY corp. (who apparently cares a great deal more about hyping non-crucial capacity issues than about the actual movies being released) then you might be humbled enough to take a more reasoned position on the pros & cons of both formats! But trust me, no one is holding their virtual breath waiting for that day. ;0)
