I think the point he's trying to make is that the US is more accustomed to brand names than the UK.

HD DVD VS Blue-Ray

Why do people always comment about others not using the search feature. Does it really throw a wrench in your day when there are a couple threads with the same theme?
I've used both Blu Ray and HD-DVD and I really don't see much difference in the two. If you hooked up one of each player to an identical LCD I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to tell which is which.
I know, Im aware of all that... Im just saying it is superior to me, ME (PS3 lover)! If I would have first heard about HD-DVD I would have said: "Cool High Def", but I heard Blu-Ray first (and INFERRING from the name I said it uses a blue laser) I never would have guessed or inferred instantaneously that from hd-dvd, as I didn't infer Blu-Ray was HD when I first heard it (I just thought it was fancier in some way). Gosh Im not fighting

"It's superior to me because I heard the name first"?
I bow to your logic. There is no viable response to such a statement.
Is that why your game is called Tormishire, even though the name has nothing to do with the actual game?
"It's superior to me because I have a PS3" care to read what is in the parenthesis???? The "heard it first and blue laser" is nothing near to a statement, just something that I happened to hear first and decided to comment on. There, can you understand? No? OK: I heard once (with no clue about it) that there is this new thing called Blu-Ray (at this moment I inferred it uses a blue laser and that must have something fancy in it) I had no idea it was HD or that HD-DVD existed until I searched about Blu-Ray and saw its technical data. Few months later I got the PS3 and I knew it had Blu-Ray hence my "preference" to it. If the PS3 would have had HD-DVD then I will clearly prefer it. Now is that clear enough?

Okay, change that to "It's superior because I own it". Still not a valid argument.
Every time you call Blu-ray "Blue Ray", Howard Stringer kills a puppy.

Ok hd-dvd is better to ME (yes ME, Moi, Yo) because I own blu-ray drive, know how this make sense?. I never said its better than the other in a technical way (for example size, codecs whatever) I just said its better to me beacuse I happen to own a Blu-Ray player, AND to MY opinion is better, you're backing up HD-DVD good for you, Im not giving you sh*t about that.
And who the hell is Howard Stringer.

Okay, I can get that much. Your usage of the word "superior" is what threw me.
And I'm not backing HD-DVD so much, I'm really more neutral on it
I don't own an HDTV so I don't care who wins.Howard Stringer is the CEO of Sony.

Ohh my bad... I just wanted to express my preference to BD because I already own a player to use in my house's hdtv, and if HDDVD was the winner then to watch future hd movies in the PS3 would be emm imposible.

Isn't is 50GB? Thats what it said on the back of Live Free Die Hard. Either way BR owns.

I wish everyone else would THINK ahead...Blu ray has way more room on their disk, meaning, i don't know... more movies on ONE disc??? duh.

Do a search for that to make up the difference. Arn gets paid when you do searches, especially if you search for specific advertisements.
yg17 is sort of correct: Blu-ray won the format war because it has a better name. There's "Blu-ray", and the one that starts with an "H".
Every time you Sony biatchs tuck up with some tissues and your Blu-Ray discs, remember this... VHS BABY!
