[quote name='geko29']Probably the most frequently misattributed quote of all time. I've never seen a cite, and I bet you can't find one.

In the mean time, here are some things Bill DID say about 640k of memory:[/QUOTE]
Hmmm, guess I was wrong about that. Good to know.
[quote name='Sporadic']The "40% of people who own a PS3 don't know they also have a Blu-Ray player" didn't throw up a red flag?[/QUOTE]
Not at all. Maybe if it had said something along the lines of "40% of PS3 owners were held at gun point to buy it" that would've helped your argument regarding Blu-ray being forced on us. Of course, if it was forced on us, you wouldn't have the ability to choose to opt out of blu-ray and you would have a PS3 (or some sort of BD player) in your home right now. But, like you said, this isn't the case, which is all I was getting at. It can't be forced if we can choose not to buy it.
[quote name='Sporadic']You seem to have a hard-on over the words "board of elites" and "forced".
The thing you don't understand is that the DVD forum isn't a "board of elites".
It's representives from 230 companies (including Sony) from the industry that come together
and vote on the issues concerning the DVD format and it's successor.
Sony had all the chance in the world to become the offical format but they didn't have their shit together and the DVD forum
voted for AOD and HD-i.[/quote]
I couldn't care less how many members it has. I don't believe 230 representatives, no matter how qualified they are, need to be making this decision for us. That's all I'm getting at. I'm not saying we should all support Blu-ray, I'm just saying that it makes more sense for consumers (the ones who will be stuck with the format) to make their own choice as to which they would like to succeed, rather than have a bunch of company representatives do it for them.
[quote name='Sporadic']Since you are all about choice, you think that you would be a strong supporter of HD-DVD. [/QUOTE]
That doesn't make any sense at all. I prefer BD, but I am all about choice for all consumers. Unlike some, I don't want others telling me what I should and should not buy.
[quote name='Sporadic']Weinstein and Universal chose to become HD-DVD exclusive. If you buy a 360, you have the choice of buying the HD-DVD attachment.
Want to play Motorstorm, congrats you just bought a Blu-Ray player. Don't care about HD movies? Too bad, suck it down and pay the $500.
Want to watch MGM/Columbia movies in HD? You're only choice is to buy Blu-Ray since Sony bought them back in 2005/1989.[/QUOTE]
How is this any different from wanting to buy a Universal movie? Want to buy any of those? I guess you're FORCED into HD-DVD. There is no possible way to escape it.
[quote name='Sporadic']That's where it starts getting scary. I don't know about you, but when I look at Sony, I see anti-choice. Sony holds all the card therefore do what Sony says and shut your

ing mouth.
And before you go "WELL OTHER COMPANIES..." Toshiba doesn't own any movie studios or game systems and already had a slam-dunk with controlling the DVD format along with the DVD forum.[/QUOTE]
What you are promoting is the very thing you are complaining about. You hate Sony for being anti-choice, yet you want the next format to be chosen for you.
