Will you be an Autobot or Decepticon?

[surfa]

There is:
a) No Blue Ray HD disc
b) HD-DVD disc
c) Standard definition disc

Problem:

I have a Denon 1930 and a PS3 Blue Ray.

Solutions:

a) Spend £300 - 400 on a HD-DVD player to watch Transformers in HD and have to find space for another box under the TV and also upgrade the amp (not enough connections)

b) just BUY the SD DVD and then buy the blue ray 18 months later - resulting in spending more money than if I could have just bought the BLUE RAY DISC.

or c) take the route that an autobot would and acquire SD from the world wide web and fight against the evil decepticons (paramount) - then buy the Blue ray disc when it comes out in 18 months?

What would you do?

Why would you by an HD DVD player just for one movie. I'd just buy the regular DVD.

why would Bay be with paramount on this issue?? he is against them on this... where have u been?

[brAnd7onX]

Okay ima write the real solution right here. Just go see transformers in IMAX which is the only best way you can possibly see this movie and that will hold you over for 18 months and you can go get it on blu-ray instead of wasting money and buying an HD-DVD player.

Point is I want to watch in High definition especially now I have spent around £3500 on a decentish system. I don't want to pay around £45 (£20 SD DVD and £20 High quality DVD) on principal.

Consumers trying to do their best and losing out again.

Ok Paramount then - post amended (although didn't he water down his comments in the end?)

He said he watched a movie in HD DVD and it was amazing but he still stands by his words that he wants his movies played in all of the best possible formats.

Fisst off I'm super drunk and will probably not even remember writing this in the moprning o takee everything I say with a grain of salt.. Unless I remember to write this down in my drunk-notebook but by the end of this text I'm prettyuy sure I've already forgotten to do that.

From what I've gathered from Bay's messages on the blog (MB's main site) he's for HD-DVD and would consider doing TF2 now that it's coming out in that format. Now that doesn't make him anti-Blu-ray but at least he likes HD-DVD, for some drunken reason my fingers keep wanting to type HD-TV.. Anyway.. I'm so fracking tempted to buy an airline ticket to some country wich actually does have a decent IMAX theatre that'll show Transformers. The only IMAX theater in the whole Sweden is linked to the nature musem (to drunk to make a proper translation) and won't be showing TF. It would cost me about 150$ to just travel back and forth to that theatre withgout counting the ticket price (that's if it showed the best film I've seen in a long time (that's Transformers if you hadn't figured that out already (great fracking job Bay! I have to be honest I had my doubts before it was released but I've watched it five times in the cinema already because it's so darn good!)). OK I'm t9otally lost, not a clue to what I'm talking about.

PS Listening to the Australian band "Weddings Parties Anything" song "Father's Day" several times in a row, damn good song.

PS2 Am I just blind or have the 'note from MB IMAX' thread been deleted or something? Probably cause of the political debate hat infested ahat thread..


Peace out and sleep tight. Karl signing off.

I dont quite understand stand any of what this guy said, but will do just what most poor people do.Go and buy the movie and watch the movie on a regular dvd player that doesn't have a remote(lost by my seven yr. old)and pop some dollar store extra butter popcorn.Best of all...the movie will be watched on a $3,000.00 Phillips flat screen that will cost me a total of $6,000.00 in three years!!!,thanks to the neighborhood Rent-a-century.(CENTER..disclaimer) what an ass i am...I think im just gonna be happy being able to watch the movie in peace and quite.Hopefully the one yr. old falls asleep before the movie.Pass the Kool-aid !!!:D

LMAO! good luck with that man! :D

For me it's easy, here in spain HD-DVD and Blue Ray are rare things. The players are too expensive (more or less the same as a regultar salary), there is no TV channel in HD, HD TVs are too expensive and HD DVD and Blue Ray released movies are a few and too expensive LOL

Also regular Pal DVD is 575 lines instead of 480 of NTSC, so the diference is smaller.

Mostly I want to say is 'go Kally!' - getting drunk and posting here you get a thumbs up from me... plus I was impressed with your typing, I'm bad enough sober typing up stuff, little lone being blotto.

I did understand what he meant about the nature channel for IMAX - that's what's screening in Sydney, no TF there unless I'm mistaken. Just nature documentries. And I will be getting the special edition 2 disc DVD as I have no HD nor will I anytime soon... don't really know if this relates to the whole thread or not.. hmm.

What would you do?

put another way:

a) Get F^*&(D over by the HDDVD gang and buy their DVD player

b) buy a shit definition dvd

c) put two fingers up to both the money grabbing bastards at Paramount and HDDVD people and pirate the disk shit def disk until one can buy once what people want to do in the first place a high def. version.

Bascially I guess it's just a) b) or c) is what you could post from now?
