And to lighten the mood I say just this.

By 'it' I meant 'the other' and not "IT". "IT" is too chewy.

...The ASC does nothing but spam.

Does that make it a bit clearer for you?

Yes, it makes it crystal clear that you have no understanding of the present tense as it is used in the English language. Either that or it is another sad attempt at spin.

Other tenses can be useful as well....for example: The ASC has only ever made 10 contributions to the databas, all months ago, and has done nothing for us since except spam his drivel all over the place and has given us no indication that he will ever stop.

See what I mean, hal9g?

bob9000, it seems you missed the following from my previous post or, maybe you just don't care whether you are accurate or not.  Here it is, again.

That's not even talking about the topic relevant information I've brought to this thread.  And, that's not talking about the amount of people I've helped or tried to help from this forum.

Therefore, my statement stands.

It still stands.  You don't have to admit it.  Can we get back on topic, now?

Like I said, what you call 'helping' the rest of us refer to shameless self-promotion, and your 'relevent information' is nothing but promotional materials spiced with a lot of spin. and THAT is the point of my comments.

Back on topic:

Blu-ray Standalone Players Account For 63% of the HD Standalone Player Market?

I would like to find out more information on that percentage.  Discuss.

Self-promotion?  Explain. 

There is no spin here.  Spin would be like saying HD market numbers don't matter whenever HD DVD get's cornered.  Then, compared the HD market (17 months old) to the CURRENT DVD market (10+ YEARS old).

Come to find out that percentage IS spin.  The Blu-ray camp is occasionally acting the HD DVD camp with spin in this particular area.  They are talking about the TOTAL revenue from the standalone player sales.  While true...it isn't a true apples to apples comparison (like HD DVD defenders that keep trying to compare DVD's current progress (10 YEARS old) with the HD market's current progress (17 months old).

If Spielberg releases his movies, the ones distributed by Paramount/Universal/Dreamworks, on Blu-ray and the 3 studios currently are HD-DVD exclusive, who will distibute them? I can't see Paramout/Universal distributing them? Assuming they stay HD-DVD exclusive that is. And of course if Lucas chooses to release his films let's say for argument sake on HD-DVD the same issue arises? Fox is Blu-ray exclusive and they certainly won't release a HD-DVD title.



pplchamp thanks for the apalogy. Sorry for snapping back.... I should stay away from posting late in the night.

I don't know whether Spielberg can just keep them from releasing the titles as long as they are HD DVD exclusive (since he allowed a BD exclusive title for his movie) or whether he can completely let another studio distribute his titles or whether he can make that distributor release on both formats.  It really depends on the level of ownership he has.  I will try to find out more about this in the next few days.
