The high-definition format war is suddenly over. Blu-ray won.

"Toshiba was the sole manufacturer of the incompatible HD DVD machines and, yesterday, the company gave up and surrendered. Toshiba had no choice, especially after North American retailers started siding exclusively with Blu-ray ? the machines and movies ? in recent weeks, announcing plans to stop stocking the rival format."

This part I found particularly interesting...
Quote:

"Critically, only two of the major Hollywood studios ? Universal plus Paramount and its DreamWorks division ? have been releasing exclusively in HD DVD. Both studios are doomed in the high-def business if they do not capitulate and quickly switch. Both are expected to do so, although both studios refused to comment to Sun Media this week.

Warner Bros., which also supported both formats, announced in January it was dumping HD DVD and going Blu-ray exclusive by May.


War is over!

Yeah sure but maybe we don't need to read it 10 times no matter who posted it.

We? When did you buy stock in GFY? :1orglaugh

Maybe you're one of the few who keeps track of every thread posted.

I don't.

And I don't care if one of my threads makes you feel all whiney. No one's holding a gun to your head are they?

Move along Franck.

Dirty F 02-20-2008 12:40 AM

I don't keep track of evert thread...far from..can you imagine how many times it mustve been posten then already. Its just common sense. News like that you just know its posted already 2 mins before it came out.

CDSmith 02-20-2008 12:43 AM

The date on that article is yesterday. That's about as much research as I'm willing to do for you buddy.

Just click another thread already. I'm sure there are a few here who haven't seen this yet. And I'm not here to entertain you personally dude.

But you know that already. :D

Dirty F 02-20-2008 12:47 AM

You know how many old news i posted in 7 years on gfy...maybe once or twice. If i can do it so canyou.

CDSmith 02-20-2008 12:52 AM

Forgive me, I'm just sitting here amazed that the mighty franck has been reduced to bickering like a 5 yr old infant about who posted what and how many times.

Seriously, why not just click another thread? How about your oh so valuable "Should I have my groceries delivered?" thread. That one's sure to go 6 pages due to it's indescribable originality. Giddyup.

CDSmith 02-20-2008 12:53 AM

Oh, and thanks for the bumps.

:D

At least that thread is original and something new to discuss, oldtimer.

Not even close, halftimer. Grocery delivery places have been discussed many times before your brainstorm hit.

But you tell yourself whatever makes you feel good. :winkwink:

CDSmith 02-20-2008 01:06 AM

You know what you should do Franck? You should go find those "10 other threads about this" and bump them all.

That'll show me. :clown

So I've heard. :D

CDSmith 02-20-2008 01:22 AM

Franck:

1. I just don't care.

2. I don't care that it bothers you.

3. It must be a very hot topic if not only myself but TWELVE other people posted it as well.

4. Did you get in all their faces as well with this crying jag of yours?


I await your next thoughts with bated breath, you being the font of wisdom that you are. :D
