Portable DVD Players on the Way Out, Study Says

[Sbert]

To be brutefully honest Lee, I have no idea what we are arguing about. LOL.

And I don't see what argument I'm trying to win or "Blue Skying" that you speak of.

Looking for a fight, are we?

[Malanthius]

Of course I can say you are incorrect. The facts of the matter bear that out. The ONLY speculation is . . . did they do it on purpose or was it an honest mistake.

And based on what the executive said, it had very little if anyting to do with BD. Mike Morell researched that.

All of your "what ifs" and "maybes" are nothing but Blue Skying in an effort to try (unsuccessfully) to win an argument.

This isn't a court of law so "reasonable doubt" amounts to nothing.

Not only that. But Kostys response was it's maybe this and it might have been that. The jury is still out. I only know one thing for sure. They got caught and then retracted or corrected their story. That's a fact. And it cannot be disputed. I would love to see PSounds emails and put an end to it. But I know even if he released them the way people have been asking? Most of the Blu team wouldn't accept it anyway. Honestly Sbert. I think you actually would. So I'm not including you in that group. You are still Blu to the core. But I think there is still hope for you.

Sorry. I've had too much wine tonight. :P I mixed up that last post and directed it to both Lee and Sbert. I'm sure they will figure it out. Nighty night!

[Lee Stewart]

What are you saying I am incorrect about exactly? What facts are you using here?

Unless you have access to PSound's emails and his exact wording _AND_ Kosty's email from HMM, you really don't have shit.

And since you don't, and I definitely don't, I prefer to leave the benefit to the publication rather than a overzealous digital/netflix fanboy.

You're welcome to have your opinion. I know I won't change it.

In the end, you can say whatever you want about me being incorrect, whether or not, it's true is something else.

1. You really need to go back and look at what happened in that thread. You have definitely forgotten.

2. I do not give HMM the benefit of the doubt simply because this was THE SECOND TIME they pulled this shit in the last 30 day.

Try to keep up to date will you!

Trust me, I know what happened in the other thread.

And even though it's the second time, I bet you it's happened more than twice and not just with pro blu-ray articles. That is why, I can not just write them off like you did because I know that the frequency of these things are common and span over all sorts of articles.

Like I said Lee, my view point on this is a bit different than yours. My assumption is based on common journalistic practices.

Let's just say, I don't expect anyone here to go out of their way to chase down a error in pro digital article's sources to discredit or invalidate HMM.

You're welcome to have your opinion. Of course HMM may have a slant towards whatever major product is out there, it might be UV in a few months, but they have a little journalistic leeway to handle those things as they see fit. I.e. fox news / cnn / headline news / msnbc all have their biases.

Small sample size and agenda driven scrutiny doesn't make 2 errors anything but a witch hunt in my opinion and my prior experiences with journalistic practice.

Like I said before the dividing line in regards to where I see things are where you feel BD's marker of minimal performance to be successful.

Mine is survival of a format <- continuned support from hardware/software providers. Anything else is gravy.

You -> BD attaining what the creators had expected (hoped for) -> reversing / stopping OD decline and replacing DVD.

I could imagine one could argue that the format has a failed the business vision/hopes but has succeeded on the consumer level.

I agree with that last sentence. We are not far apart.

I would love to see PSounds emails and put an end to it.

First, it wouldn't put an end to it.

Second, it would be unethical for me to post a screenshot of the email without permission.

Finally (and most importantly), there is no need for me to do so as I have provided the avenue for ANYONE to ask whatever question they want of Trans World Entertainment: corpcomm@twec.com


Ask your question there. Post the question and answer here if you want. I won't do it, as to me it is unethical.

I just want to know what you said to get the information. If you pretended to be an investor or potential investor then you shouldn't dare even say anything about ethics.
