LOL @ HD-DVD

[Yoshi]

I love the people saying we don't need an HD movie format cause it just offers a prettier picture/sound and then bitch and moan that the Wii isn't HD.

I don't agree with you often, because frankly you rarely make any damn sense, but you nailed this one.

TV DVD's are awesome, and its the only way to watch TV shows.

My friend just introduced me to Alias, and I couldn't imagine ever watching this show as it aired on network television....with all the commercial breaks, re-runs, and hiatuses during the season. I'm on Season 2 now, and I love just watching the seasons at my own pace.

Season 2 of Veronica Mars was perfect on DVD too, and I still haven't bothered watching a single episode of Season 3 because I'm waiting for the DVD box set. Its just sad that people like me are probably responsible for the doubts I have about this show being renewed for a fourth season.

[Revoltor]

Yeah, you're killing TV. Do the right thing and download it off the internet.

[Compass]

I don't know about that. Fox said they didn't really care too much if Family Guy didn't have stellar ratings when it returned, and that their justification for relaunching it was all the money they knew the subsequent DVDs would make.

Then why not just go straight to DVD?

[Compass]

Well, that probably would be a better strategy if they thought nobody was going to tune in. I guess they have it worked out where they know not as many people need to tune in as the old days because they can make up any lost ad revenue money from DVD sales. Plus, broadcasting the show once a week serves as a sort of advertising for the DVDs. People would probably just forget about it if they didn't have it shoved in their face all the time on TV.

Then why not just go straight to DVD?

why just get profit on dvd sales? profit off the commercials, then profit off the dvd sales. maybe get some more viewers and buyers while at it.

It's nice to know we can at least agree on this.

I bought season one of Battlestar Galactica on the cheap. I had missed most of that season, because of my work schedule, so it was cool to have this option available so soon.

This past December, I finally got Verizon HD in my home and an HD DVR. HD Net broadcasts several shows in HD, including Battlestar Galactica (Season 2) Firefly, Stargate SG-1 and Star Trek:Enterprise. It's cool to see these shows in widescreen and 1080i.

It's kind of disappointing to see the current Battlestar Galactica on the regular old Sci-fi channel, because they aren't offering the channel in HD.

That article told us shit. LOL at people defending either format. Its a format that many people (General Populace) think is being "FORCED' onto them.

You mean like the high definition standard? Nobody's forcing it on anyone, it's just that everyone's buying HDTVs, and yet many of them (an embarassing number of whom are in this thread) are too retarded to understand that a medium with enough storage space for HD media is needed.
