I think the worst part is how the rest of the thread seems totally fine with that OP. Quotes about the 'war' and 'natural selection' and so on....just wow.
That forum (and wherever its HD-DVD equivalent is) is a horrible, horrible place. Both should be nuked off the Internet.
I hate fanboys with an intense passion.
What kind of idiot goes to Wal-Mart with their "Holy Mission to Inform the Uneducated..." (pretty much what he did)? Seriously. I call BS to what he said. More than anything, he was simply rambling off at the mouth. Honestly, who in their right mind is going to be able to convince 90% of everyone out there to not get one high def dvd player over another when the price difference is THAT great? I can see it now:
Blu-Ray Supporter: "Hey, got a sec?"
Wal-Mart Customer: "Ummm...okay....sup?"
Blu-Ray Supporter: "I see you're in line to buy that 98.00$ HD-DVD player...."
Wal-Mart Customer: "Umm..yeah. It's pretty cheap. My old DVD player is about to die on me, so I figured, why not, ya know?"
Blu-Ray Supporter: "Nah, you don't want to buy that. The technology isn't that great. You're going to really hate yourself for buying that thing later."
Wal-Mart Customer: "Really? So it's not that good?"
Blu-Ray Supporter: "Oh yeah, it's totally crap. Hold on a sec...." *looks around* "Okay, be right back. I see what you want...."
Wal-Mart Customer: "......."
Blu-Ray Supporter: *huffing and puffing, holding a Blu-Ray box* "Here. This is what you really want to buy. It's totally better than that thing...." *points at the HD-DVD player box*
Wal-Mart Customer: "Hmmm....you sound like you know what you're talking about, eh?"
Blu-Ray Supporter: "Oh yeah, I totally do, man. Trust me, you'll love this thing."
Wal-Mart Customer: "Okay, sounds great. I'll buy that one then instead."
Blu-Ray Supporter: *cheers*
Wal-Mart Customer: "Okay....let me put this HD-DVD player back and I'll just take the one you've got. By the way, how much do those things cost?"
Blu-Ray Supporter: "Oh, it's a little bit more than that piece of crap you were wanting to get. But you'll be happier in the long run. Just go ahead and buy it."
Wal-Mart Customer: "Ummm...how much does it cost? When you say 'A little bit more...' define 'A little bit more...' for me."
Blu-Ray Supporter: "Oh, it's only 399.99$. But hey! They're dropping the price al the time! You'll be happy you bought it. Hey! Where are you going? No! Don't buy that HD-DVD player! You're going to regret it! You're a tool! A sheep! They bought you love with those low prices! Don't do it!" *sobs uncontrollably as the Wal-Mart Customer walks away with their new HD-DVD purchase*
Moral of the Story?
Don't try to talk folks into buying the more expensive of products to someone while in a Wal-Mart. If they were willing to listen to you, both of you wouldn't be *IN* Wal-Mart to begin with, now would you?
Honestly, chubs...............
