please try again. why do you place stock in the apparent sales of your "friend" with his internet company (which might be moving around a hundred titles a week if my friends are to be believed) against the 50% market share tracking of neilsen?
The first step to learning something is admitting you don't know everything.

This is rather off-track for discussion of The Matrix Trilogy.

enough childish games. someone comes on here claiming they have information but can't share it. says they hate rumours, then tries to start one. and we're not supposed to be a little suspicious? pull the other one.

Resorting to personal attacks is not going to get anyone to agree with you.
I'm sorry but you really do come across as a fanboy now.

No one in this forum has a clue what will happen with Warner. It could be a switch to one or the other or nothing at all and they still support both.
Neither format is doing much to impress sales wise. 160,000 copies of Pirates is laughable considering how long the formats have been out and they both are still trumpeting their 100k for a single title weeks. 3 million BD players in the US (counting PS3) and they sell a major release to 5% of those owners. Awesome.

His first few posts bring up salient points about Warner and their current stance in regards to format exclusivity, and that is totally on topic with people waiting for news on a BD release of The Matrix. It sounds as though he has some inside sources, albeit at a limited level.
There are some that take any hint of bad news or criticism of their pet format as a call to arms.
THAT is what I saw in this thread.

I could totally see best buy in a couple of months time discontinuning to sell HDDVD due to 'poor sales'. Maybe the BDA is offering BB added incentives to sell more BD and price HD-DVD higher. Just because you are a discount retailer doesnt mean you have to sell stuff at a discount.

In 2035. When Warner Brothers actually gets their act together and ships product.
