Four of those five are reasons I haven't bought a BD player. (My TV is not less than 37 inches.)

Blu-ray is shite. The biggest reason of them all.

Not following your logic... when I see you post that in the constant barrage of HD DVD is doomed/dead threads, maybe then I may question these postings.

OK, smart guy. Maybe I was referring to the fact you posted a repeat thread from yesterday.

Secondly, I also own both formats, but I prefer HD DVD, as I think it is the better format for consumers. Save the smack talk for someone else.

BTW—I see you're from Boston. GO CELTICS!

Fair enough, must have missed it. Where was the smack talk? That wasn't smack talking...

As for the Celtics, if they can manage to stop losing tight games, they'll do alright. The majority of our loses have been by less than 5 points.

I know. Damn buzzer beaters. I'll take that over a blow out though.

And I thought you were getting snippy with me when you made that comment about me posting stuff in anti-HD DVD threads. Ive been accused of being BD biased recently because I call things like I see it, so excuse me on that.

That is true... The Cavaliers have indeed won 2/3 games vs. the Celtics.

Lebron can be unstoppable sometimes.
