one fat kid in elementary school. Always bitching and starting fights and has nothin to back himself up with except his huge fat ass and his fat, dumbass group of friendsWhereas your reply is the reasoned logical reply of an adult? Some cliché to use. It's called bullying.

Oh the old name calling again see the quote above.
I can understand corporations going head to head and not getting along with each other. I can also understand both camps needing to make statements that back the format they have chosen.
I can't understand members of the public who are supposedly fans of consoles/gaming/movies slinging childish little comments at each other over the fact someone owns a different console system to the one they have, when they have nothing to gain. Surely everyone who buys the products is chasing the same thing.
Yes we would all like to have the particular format we have bought succeed otherwise it means purchasing more /different hardware, but I don,t feel the need to throw in some name calling like someone stole your sweets.
Sony may not be selling in numbers like it hoped, MS may not have had the best reliability but both machines will play a part in the format wars as both have that capability.
Until really cheap stand alone players come out the positions may not change with Blu-Ray infront at the moment. One thing certain price reductions on players need to happen quickly because as the 360 has proved, once you get a good head start on the competition it is a big task to catch up.

FWIW, I don't know a single person with a Blu-Ray player, aside from one friend with a dusty PS3.... but I know a good dozen people with HDDVD players.
The figures show a different story to your personal experience but it is possible even the circle of friends that people have will eventually play its part. You know how it goes you buy something, one of your mates comes round sees it, loves it and buys the same product. That is why we tend to find our friends have pretty much the same stuff as we do.
