Cleeve owned an HD DVD player before. And can you blame him? Why limit yourself to less than half the studios as an HD DVD owner and not go Blu?

Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.

Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they're turned around.

Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease him a lot cause we've got him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

I went neutral because I'm smart and want to watch as many movies as possible, simple as that.

I have no loyalties towards any format or company, just towards movies.

I had no problem holding off from HD DVD when it only had Universal and seemed to have an extremely grim future, but now that Paramounts there, there's no way I'd not go neutral.

I don't know how anyone, on either side of the format war, could be format exclusive and happy at this point.

Good choice. I purchased Lost in Translation last week and it looks great in HD.

I own both a Wii and a PS3 and if you are a true gamer, you will like the PS3 much more. The Wii is fun for parties and kids, but it is really not a next generation game machine (especially with regards to graphics).

I also think BD fans have realised Sony are all about money not the consumer.

Spiderman is their crown jewel, which they should be using so show off BD Java by loading the title with features but instead they release Spidey 1 & 2 barebones. This is basically saying we know the fanboys will buy this regardless and then next year we will re-release it with the bonus features and milk them some more.

Look at Disney with the POTC titles, loaded with extra features surely the company that is behind the format (and lets call a spade a spade thats Sony) should be leading the way not screwing its supporters.

i am waiting for combo drive to go down in price. then i will go neutral. i do not want ps3.

[HDAlien]
