Great movie, long movie, but it had lots of great scenes that were funny, sexy, and kept me watching them over and over.

Is this Wagner James Au guy on crack? HD-DVD is CLEARLY the better format. This is not even debatable.
The only thing Blu-Ray has is more storage. As a format for watching HD movies (which both have plenty of storage for), HD-DVD is better in every possible way.
Here is one of 50 examples. Run picture in picture through your Blu-Ray player. Oh wait, you can’t.

Both Sony and Microsoft are so interested in consoles because they can combine games with discs and downloadable material. They really want to be in everything and whatever works better they will pursue with new versions. Hard discs or other accessories will be added as required in new models as the market tendencies imply. As for Blu-ray itself, I think it will never achieve the title range we currently have with DVDs. So in the meantime DVD upscaling will work fine while downloads will gain momentum.

Shrug. Googling "amazon ps3" returns this list first, pricing new PS3s between $565.00 and $698.00:

“No, last Wednesday, when a check on Amazon priced the PS3 at $590.”
Bullshit. There isn’t a PS3 for sale that costs 600 bucks and anyone who did even a modicum of research would know this. They cost 400 or 500 depending on the model so you quite literally exaggerated the price by 50% more. Don’t cry “but I checked online” own up to your fuckup and retain some journalistic credibility.

Funny how the blu ray fanboys talk bad about the writer being a fanboy.

All I see on the posts are a bunch of crybabies....

“Transformers is an HD-DVD exclusive title. It’s not even available on blu-ray.”

Hmm, I thought the reason for mentioning that movie would have been obvious to Blu-ray ideologues: Its director, Michael Bay, is among the biggest Hollywood advocates for Blu-ray:
