Default Now Formally Neutral

Well I just ordered 8 movies on blu-ray at Amazon.com and the PS3 at a navy online website. My support for hd-dvd will slow to a crawl after Hot Fuzz and Heroes Season 1. You could say I become neutral now but of course with what I said I lean toward blu-ray.

Congrats on owning both. Don't listen to the negativity from others in this thread, they are just jealous fanboys I am actually grateful about having a new thread that does not talk about Blockbuster.

Haha! I know. I just realized that not long ago. I will probably end up picking it up. I want to see more of these British Comedies. I like their style.

That is because most of what I look forward to is on blu-ray and will get the blu-ray version of neutral movies. There isn't anything major I am looking forward to on hd-dvd after Hot Fuzz, Heroes 1, and Shaun of the Dead too.

Oh about my supper..hmm? Probably just going to hit up McDonalds.

Get ready for the HD DVD backlash. I know I got hit with it pretty hard after I went neutral and started to praise my Blu-Ray player and the PQ/AQ.

Welcome to the real world. Glad you finally came to your senses, as to the rest of the HD DVD fanboys.....

I was never a fanboy. I think it will be hard to convert any type of fanboy. Fanboys only see what they want to see and never take into account views from both sides. I seen it too much here and I see it too much with the PS3/360.

Blockbuster? Did someone say Blockbuster? I heard that something was on the news. Are they finally responding to all of my email asking for the return of VHS tapes. I think my player still has a few good years left in it!

to the OP; good decision.

anyway, (this is sort of off-topic) someone made a thread about trading HDDVD in for Blu-ray and it got locked. i don't understand this. is this not called the HD format war "Smackdown" board. most people don't come here to make others happy, but to gloat about their format of choice. which brings me to the question; why all the neutral people here?
