oh shit, i remember that one now!

i've seen them all because my dad is a huge star trek fan, but i saw them when i was younger so i don't really remember them all too clearly. i mainly remember undiscovered country and the ones following it. first contact was by far my favorite; the borg are a cool race.

Uh, I stopped renting ages ago because all DVDs were scratched. :/

Usually, when you rent a DVD that was JUST RELEASED, there are no scratches... Anyway, it's your money! :lol

I noticed something strange here, ManaByte.

Here's the actual quote from aintitcool:



Notice something STRANGE? Notice something different from your quote above?

Here, let me bold it for you...



...Strange how you supposedly quoted that story, and yet, in your your "quote" the whole part about "Spielberg, however, is a huge supporter of Blu-Ray and always has been" magically DISAPPEARED from your quote box!

You ever think Harry Knowles changed his article after I quoted it? No. Of course not. That never happens. Oops Bill Hunt did the same, but I get nailed for Harry doing it.

Took you long enough to come up with a semi-plausible explanation.

So why did it take you so long to respond? Oh... you were trying to come up with the excuse for it.

Just no.

The 360 is way to loud for HD DVDs. (sold the damn thing because of that)

There is no 1080p/24 HD DVD player in existence. Why bother with less visual quality?
I know one HD DVD player over here that does 1080p (no 24p) and it costs 509€. So I don't see how it could see me buying into the other format any time soon.

Yeah maybe tha twill chang ein 5 years but who wants 2 formats for their movies?

the one I just bought doesn't exist? are you telling me I paid $400 for an empty box?
Days like these... said:
2 of new Tosh 3rd gen models will do 1080p/24 and they start at $399 thats $100 cheaper than the cheapest blu ray player.

the A20 is supposed to get a firmware upgrade sometime soon that will give it those same features, hence why I bought one now (plus 7 free movies, of course).

How does that make him an anti sony fanboy?

He owns HDDVD and is happy that his investment just got new life. That doesnt make him anti-sony, that makes him a selfish consumer. Im in the exact same boat. Im thrilled, I can ensure that I'll have new HD movies to buy for another 12 months without having to pay for a new machine.

No I didn't take a look at the post in detail until now. So since Harry changed his article and it was noticed at a time when I was not online; I get nailed for it?

You've posted numerous times since its been brought to your attention.

You make it very difficult to disseminate from whether you just hope people will buy your bullshit, or if you're just flat out stupid.

Have I EVER re-written a quote like that? EVER? NO. Harry fucking changed his article sometime after I quoted it. JUST LIKE BILL HUNT RE-DID HIS ARTICLE. Yet I'm getting nailed for something a fat fuck in Texas did on his website after I quoted the original article here.

I did NOT change the quote to fit any agenda. I directly quoted the article as it was on AICN at the time. Sometime last night when I was offline Pristine_Condition noticed the article was different from what I posted and nailed me to the wall over it. Sure it's perfectly fine for The Digital Bits to change their rant, but when AICN changes their article after someone quotes it, whoever quotes the original article gets accused to selectively quoting something.

The Digital Bits did it, it happens all the time.

Fine, believe whatever the fuck you want to fit into your little fanboy world; but I did not alter the fucking quote from AICN. I cut and pasted exactly what was there at the time when I made the original post 24 hours ago.

Mana, you got nailed because you have absolutely no credibility left *before* the editing incident. Doesn't really matter if you are telling the truth or not-- although it sure seems like "not."

Here's an exercise-- image that somehow you are responsible for all the crap you are getting, and try to figure out how you encouraged it all.

PROOF!

From that link:
I then asked when the INDIANA JONES set would hit and if it would be exclusive to HD. Rob responded that on the films that Steven directs, he wants the titles to be available in both formats - so those will be cross-platform titles. However, the rest of Dreamworks, Viacom/Paramount's world... those will be HD DVD exclusive for the next few years at least. Can you imagine BLOCKBUSTER not letting people rent TRANSFORMERS, SHREK THE THIRD, etc? Me Either. This format war is a fascinating chess game, isn't it?

THAT IS A DIRECT CUT AND PAST FROM THE LINK mamacint POSTED. NOT EDITED IN ANY WAY.

Let's say you didn't-- why do you think it's so plausible to so many people that you did? Hint: It has something to do with how one-sided, spin-ish, and disingenous (look it up) your posts have been to date.

I also don't know know why Harry would add that clause in after the fact.

ManaByte cleared! Looked pretty bad with you seemingly dodging it for pages, Mana, but I'm glad there was proof to the contrary.

Moving past people ganging up on ManaByte, I have the following three comments to make:

1. As someone who broke and bought the Xbox 360 add-on at Best Buy with the 300 deal, I'm glad to see that HD-DVD is not going down easy.
2. The inner-Sega fan in me glows with the fact that Sony doesn't get their way.
3. I doubt that I will decide this format war, so who cares! Wheeee!

Sure, why not? Sorry, ManaByte. I didn't call you a liar -- I just asked for an explanation -- but you provided it and we even got some proof, too. Handshakes all around, cigars for everyone, keep your chin up old chap, I tip my hat to you and the like.
