WASSSSSSSSSUP!

[Volkaxx]

What is up peoples?!?!?

No, I am not coming back to WoW. I just wanted to tell everyone Happy New Year and let you know that you still touch my tra la la.

Also I wanted to poke fun at the HD DVD faithful...you know who you are.

Soooooooooooooooo.....

I came across this new article today. *Evil Laughter*

Seems Warner Bros. Is pulling out of HD DVD (WHAT THE...o.O....). Yes the LARGEST video producer is pulling the plug, saying buh-bye, going the way of the dino. All HD DVD has left is Paramount and Universal...and there is rumor that one of the two may be jumping ship too now that Warner has. But take heart! I mean you still got porn right...

*Diabolical Laughter*

The article may be a little dated (It came out yesterday...muhahahahaha).

But I thinketh the shiteth hath hiteth the fan for Toshiba.

Address your hate mail to Akio Ozaka CEO of Toshiba America Consumer Products.

(Sample)

Dear Mr. Ozaka,

You sonofabitch! Damn you! Damn you to hell for offering such low, low prices on your soon to be obsolete player! I could have bought an orange smoothie! You bastard...I could have bought an orange smoothie...or maybe a Blu-Ray. I hate you and I hope you get Herpes!

With much Malice,
<Your Name Here>


Anyhow...

Below is the article. You can read it yourself. I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to say "I told you so."

So don't leave angry...just leave.

Your friendly neighborhood Volkaxx

Don't hurry back

[Troyer]

Can I just address the hate mail to you?


F Blu-Ray.

[Volkaxx]

Deep down inside you know you love me.


It's okay...

It will be our little secret.

Sounds like I missed an interesting discussion of HD DVD vs Blu-Ray.  That is a serious set back for HD DVD.  Wonder if this will tip the scales.

[Turkley]

Everyone is saying today that paramount is backing out of HD-DVD now too.  Damn these people.

[Volkaxx]

OMG...

I guess when it rains it pours!

[Volkaxx]

Damn! Even Microsoft may be jumping ship!

If Paramount does have an escape clause in their contract then it is over for HD-DVD because that means Universal will likely have one too. And Blu-Ray has 70% of Hollywood output this far without paramount and Universal according to this source. I give HD-DVD a month at best and it will be lost.

No, actually at this point I think the word loathe is more appropriate.

It really is too bad that Sony is going to do everything in their power to choke another inferior format down our throats.  Too bad more people don't do their homework.

[Troyer]

Unlike with VHS and Beta, Sony has enough power and money this time to buy and strong arm their way into market dominance.  Glee.

Thats ok, I've always wanted to have to spend alot more money on the movie playback device than necessary.

[Jim Tressel]
