Hollywood Reporter: Toshiba to Drop HD-DVD

[pixelthis]

Sorry Pix, they didn't know last September, it wasn't till after the Warner announcement that they saw the writing on the wall. It wasn't until Walmart and Netflix announced bluray exclusive which pushed them to announce sooner than later that they were willing to concede defeat. So do not bring your toothless and brainless head here trying to look like you were right all along. You have been wrong with 95% of the things you have posted here, and this was no exception.

I have been saying that Blu will win from the getgo.
Find ONE of my posts that says otherwise, ass.
Idiotic posts like this make me doubt that you are the "industry" insider you claim to be.
You have no clue as to how business works.
When did tosh have an "exit" strategy?
FROM the very start, just like ANY modern business basing a large chunk of change
and, even more importantly, credibility, on a single decision.
You might not have known as early as last sept, but you are probably the ONLY
so called "industry insider" that couldn't see the very large neon lettered handwriting
on the wall.
If my "toothless and brainless" head could figure it out and your head, emptied of
common sense by a college education no doubt, couldnt, then you might want to rethink the old career path.
Or will you have to wait until whatever age you state has as a minimum to work?

Anyone can state the obvious when it becomes obvious. You have yet to break a single piece of news, you have been commenting on what has already been reported. Hence, looking at the horses a$$ instead of staring at it face to face.

How would you know? You do not work in the film industry. How would you know if I am right or wrong? Things played out just like I predicted they would in detail. You just commented on what your read. Since that takes no brains, its a perfect strategy for you.

When did tosh have an "exit" strategy?

They started planning it just before the Walmart announcement. That is confirmed and fact.

FROM the very start, just like ANY modern business basing a large chunk of change
and, even more importantly, credibility, on a single decision.

If you plan to fail from the start, you will fail. You do not sink $600 million dollars into something you think you are going to lose.

You might not have known as early as last sept, but you are probably the ONLY
so called "industry insider" that couldn't see the very large neon lettered handwriting
on the wall.

This does not make any sense at all fool, I have been saying the HD DVD was going to lose since January of 2007. You only saw the neon handwriting on the wall after I wrote it.

If my "toothless and brainless" head could figure it out and your head, emptied of
common sense by a college education no doubt, couldnt, then you might want to rethink the old career path.

Your toothless and brainless head did not have to figure anything out, it was done for you by other posters here like Woochifer. Your brainless and toothless head just likes to ride on others coat tails. So now you are brainless, toothless, old and lazy.

Sounds like you are jealous because most hicks like you never finish third grade.
