Speaking od dead sony formats, when was the last time that Sony Music or Sony Classical released a commercial MD. The last one I bought must have been back in 1997...ans MDs were still around LONNNG after that (I still own two portables and a stand-alone....I loved me my MD players  ) More a curiosity question than wholly relevent....

As far as I know, that was mainly for recording music.  Definitely not many titles were even released to begin with.  Now, Japan is a different story.

This is VERY interesting. 

Is the Bluray BD 1.1 Standard still-born Yet Again??

What is that site?  It's clear that it is just meant to carry the FUD from one person to the next (like a virus).  Is this a part of MS virus marketing plan...like the A-man going from AVS to highdefdigest.com? 

Q1:2008 according to announcements from IFA

No one knows if the PS3 will receive an update for profile 1.1 this year or not.  Well, at least, Fox has titles coming out this year with profile 1.1 and 2.0 content.  To bad Warner doesn't seem to be following that example.

So this site is not legit because it is a possible HD-DVD site, yet you most often link your arguments to Blu-Ray.com and we are supposed to take that site as being an unbiased source of information???  Come on dude, you can't have it both ways!!!

It is NOT legit, because the information is mostly either ISN"T TRUE or hearsay ....period.

Here...

This is a link from within the above link you are calling NOT legit!!!  Again, there is no proof to say it ISN"T TRUE or hearsay...you blabbering that it is doesn't make it so.  Even though you preach on here as if you are speaking the gospel of the net, you are clearly fooling no one!!!

And I didn't see one thing in that article that said profile 1.1 or better BD players won't arrive until Q2: 2008.  Did you see that in the Ultimate AV magazine?  That's what I'm talking about.

Oh you explained this already, well thank the lord we have you here to show us the way.

Every day you prove to be the biggest windbag spin doctor I have ever had the displeasure of meeting on the net!!!  You explain off your opinions and beliefs with heresay and rhetoric and then later you just say, I already explained this to everyone, blah blah blah.  You link to biased Blu-Ray hyperbole and expect everyone here to bow to your debating prowess but then quickly attempt to discredit anything anyone posts that counters your rhetoric...that is the definition of a Spin -Doctor...I have already explained this to you as well I believe, several times, if you didn't understand then, clearly you never @#$#@$% will!!!

My original post (not my quote above) about this I said Sony would probably (something to that affect) continue to support Blu-ray.  There is a history of Sony support such things (recent example...UMD).

Example before that?

Quote:
I'm just saying...this (in the unlikely scenario of Blu-ray losing) wouldn't be the first time supported an almost dead movie idea (not format).  The UMD format is what the PSP games are put on.

I know what UMDs are, I own 2 PSPs, but support for that format does not prove they will continue to support Blu-ray...which is what you just said.

Sony did own a movie studio until 1989.  Therefore, what other examples of providing audio or video content would there be?  CDs are still going strong.  Sony still gets partial royalties from the compromise for what is now known as DVD.  Blu-ray is still in the lead.  What's left?[/blcokquote]

I'm sorry.  I figured, since you said, "There is a history," you actually meant there was a history.  One example, which wasn't a good example to begin with, is hardly 'history'.

No, you speculated that is is likely.  Proof requires facts and all you provided was your opinion.

That first part of your response is not worth addressing in detail.

Your second response isn't worth a more detailed response either, but I'll do it.  I have PROVED the POSSIBILITY of Sony's possible prolonged support of Blu-ray in the event that it lost the format war.  The fact was that Sony is STILL supporting UMD movies.  Remember, this WHOLE situation is a "what if" scenario.

So what is being said is that in the highly unlikely case that SONY would loose the format-war they'd try and do anything remotely possible in their financial power to make the whole High Def format a successfull failure.
Actually the same that Toshiba (I think about a year and a half to two years ago now) did when Blu-ray and HD DVD were talking about one standardised format?

I actually am starting to hope that Disney will change its policy and start releasing on either both formats, or on HD DVD exclusive so I can buy myself a HD player.

EDIT: I must have read your post before you changed it then hit the quote button.  By that time you must have already changed the original post.

Sorry, try again.  There was a 15-20 minute period between my post and your quote.  It's not possible for you to click the "quote" button and then changes I made later show up in your quote.  They were already made when you quoted.  It would have been much easier to just admit you made a mistake, but apparently you're beyond admitting minor things like that.

Anyway, doesn't matter.  You're whole argument during that point was completely laid to rest.

I didn't have a chance to hit Best Buy this weekend, but I did stop by Target.  Their UMD selection is no where to be found in their entire DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray section of movies.  On a whim I went to the game department and checked the tiny little PSP section and sure enough there were your highly touted UMD movie selections.  3 whole movies.  Casino Royale, Spider Man 2, and Ghost Rider.  That was the the entire selection. 

I hope to hit Best Buy this coming week and I can't wait to see the huge selection of UMD movies they have for sale; thus proving Sony will support Blu-ray for the next 10 year no matter what.
