That's a nice coupon, and thanks for the link...but fair warning: Borders price on videos are really high, usually around MSRP. Planet Earth on BD/HD was $99.95, for example.

[freshzen]

So almost everything is going to be $30-40 anyway?

[DirkDiggler]

Borders generally has terrible prices so this isn't really a deal. But better than nothing.

Let's look at your post, shall we?



Warner Bros

Time Warner is the actual name of the parent company. So technically nothing wrong there.



There's two major studios backing HD-DVD (Universal/Paramount) plus alot of smaller studios.

Universal/Paramount is owned by the same parent company. And those small companies are just that, small and do not have any real pull in the grand scheme of the format war.



FUD

Proof.

And I said rumor, no sense pointing that out about the PS3 price drop. The rumors are coming from the same sourse that told us about the first price drop, but we will find out shortly.



No, it's not and posting alot of FUD/rumors does not make that fact which brings us to the point.
If you look at the industry insiders, they all agree that its all but over for HD-DVD. Why argue the point.

Why did HD-dvd cancel their CES "major announcement"?
http://www.macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/walking_dead_hd_dvd_cancels_ces_appearance_after_w arner_goes_blu_ray/
Im not trying to start anything by saying HD-DVD is basically dead, but look at the facts, you can't ignore them, no matter if your a fan of the format or not.



Then I'm sure you seen this all before.

Where a new guy comes onto the forum, posts a bunch of bullshit, ignoring the members when they tell him to be quiet leading to him posting about HOW DARE I BE WRONG, I'M *prestigious thing in real life and/or the internet* and eventually gets banned because they can't get themselves into check quick enough.

But no, you're right, I must be wrong because I called you an ill-informed retard. I mean, shit, you know how forums work, man. You were an administrator at the largest gaming forums on the web. (Cheat Planet before it was bought out and eventually became GamesRadar.)

I'm not ignoring any of the members, but I made a post then you made a rude and out of line post because you seem to think you are all high and mighty because you have been here a long time. Ive never been banned from any site or forum because I know what to do and what to expect from them. Ive only been here since September,(lurking longer than that) but does that make you any more special or smarter than myself? No, nor does it make either of us a better person. There is no sense in rude posts to someone that has never spoken to you before, yet you made it a point of yours to do so. It seems you where upset because your format is losing the format war, and didn't like what I had to say. You make an out of line post to me, and of course I'm going to respond. If anyone did anything ban worthy, it would be you with your derogatory comment.


Back on topic. The Borders that I have here doesn't sell movies, only books. But from what I have seen on their website, even with the b1g1 50% off, you would be better looking elsewhere.

Yeah, there is.

No, they are not.

Universal is GE while Paramount is Viacom.

Your proof isn't even proof (it's from January and Paramount has already announced more HD-DVDs and denied the move), industry insiders are not God and HD-DVD canceled their CES conference because (and this is according to Ken Graffeo) they literally found out about Warner going Blu on the way to CES. It was either canceled the conference and regroup or go on stage with outdated material with no answers.

It has nothing to do with how new you are and everything to do with how you are just jumping in being Mr. I Know Everything/let me derail the thread, while talking out of your ass about things you admittedly don't follow.

And oh god, I called you a derogatory comment. Heaven forbid I don't handle new people with kids gloves. I must be wrong about everything and swiftly banned for my harassment of Mr. Former Administrator of the largest gaming forums on the web. (Cheat Planet before it was bought out and eventually became GamesRadar.)

The reason it is being pointed out, is that the comment was made by you that I could be banned when I did nothing to warrant anything like that. I was stating that if ANYONE did anything wrong, it was you. You don't know me, and the first reply you make to me was *according to forum rules* offensive. Now am I going to run and tell big brother you did this? No, but the fact remains that you did.

This is the second thread in a row I've read that you have crapped all over with misinformation and whining. Please stop.

I like how you ignored all the stuff he called you out on for being wrong about. but enough thread-crapping.

thanks for the coupon. If the local Borders actually carried Blu-Rays I might have actually used the coupon. cheers.

Guys, keep this thread on topic.
