There was no need to do so; I just politely quit posting cheerleader references.

After all, I didn't want to hurt your feelings by drawing too much attention to your whimpering pleas for relief. ;0)

BTW, you should turn YOUR spell-checker back on, dude, before folks start wondering if you write with a lisp carried over from your day job. ;^D

>>> "In case you still haven't noticed, your team is losing badly." <<<

It isn't a "team" thing or an "us against them" thing or a "capacity" thing, it's about folks investment in hardware and discs that's in jeopardy and I'm not just talking about early adopters. When prices dropped below $100 for players during the holidays and included movie incentives, both formats ceased being early adopter products.

You apparently think that Blu-ray has no faults and ignore region locking issues out of a lack of interest or awareness of what that means to consumers of European film and television. You also overlook Blu-ray failure to meet final specs even in current players. Note: There are serious issues with involved with changing specifications, especially when there's no direct pathway to upgrading existing players to meet those new specs.

Folks who've invested in BD players that don't meet the final specs are probably going to get screwed without ever being kissed by the very format they've supported so rabidly; when that happens SONY will probably figure out a way to charge Blu-ray supporters top dollar for their proprietary brand of KY Jelly! ;O)
