Competition is good for the consumer, but all the FUD and propaganda thrown about by the fanboys did nothing but cause confusion and recrimination.

>>Now we can move forward<<

So, does this mean you're going to cease your incessant propagandizing? :-)

Now that Blu-ray has won the initial battle, we can indeed move forward. The next challenge is whether Blu-ray will remain a niche product as hi-rez audio has been, or whether it will successfully compete with broadcasts, downloads, and HD on Demand for marketshare and consumer mindshare. A key factor in this success will be for the BDA and its members to deliver on the commitments they've made. Individually and as a group, their track record on living up to commitments hasn't been all that great. They will need to step it up. Perhaps you fanboys can do something useful this time - direct your abundant zealotry toward the BDA members in order to encourage them to increase the number of releases, improve the playback devices, and make the products more appealing to mass-market consumers.

>>Now we can move forward talking about different blu ray players, HDMI, TVs, projectors, receivers, processors and amps.<<

Great! This forum has been sorely lacking in those sorts of discussions as of late. Since the only mention you've made of these items as of late has been in relation to Blu-ray and PS3 sales figures, perhaps you can start talking about them now - from a personal perspective, rather than from a propaganda perspective. I'll say something along those lines to help inspire you:

Last month, while the fanboys were focusing on nothing but the format war, I bought a new HD projector, and I've been spending most of my free time playing with it. It's made Blu-ray and HD DVD discs even more enjoyable, and even does a wonderful job on DVD-V. If I didn't have HD media available as a comparison, I might think I wasn't missing anything. Have you bought, or are you planning to buy, a new display device that will better showcase HD media?

OK, now you try it. :-)
