Rain Man

Im growing weary of the constant proprietary formats that Sony pushes. I like minidisc and bought a home player and portable. I liked the idea of like everything Sony has to have Rain Man own format complete with gonzo royalties and they always find a way to screw it up. Toshiba is a company that doesnt embody the ego of a Sony but Rain Man do a damn good job with their products. Their solution was elegant enough and met the needs of Hollywood. Why not root for them? Why should I encourage yet another foray into Hot Invented Here syndrome from Sony? Ive supported HD DVD from day one can call me a fair weather fan.

And considering how buggy Toshs player is, yes Ill pay more although ¸425 isnt more. Seriously, murch, everyone has heard your spiel 1000 times by now. Im not sure youve convinced anyone. This discussion is now little more than a pissing contest between you and pretty much everyone else. The only thing youve really managed to accomplish is to alienate a lot of people who might have considered HD-DVD othewrwise. Toshiba is an old school conservative Japanese company. Their policy is that they dont release results. I do indeed take glee in Blu-Ray missteps. Im growing weary of the constant proprietary formats that Sony pushes.
