Wal-mart employee leaks secret PS3 + Blu-ray movies sale


Recommended Posts

sigh, its damn annoying to find every thread about HD-DVD or Blu-ray end up in a format war debate with certain members posting strong views on both sides and being blantly rude and obnoxious to members who argue differently. It gets even more pathetic when people who are so obviously massively in favour of one side accuse others of not being objective or biased. Clearly the pot has never met the kettle.

This is getting worse than AVSforums was before they shut down the HD area's for a week to cool the nerves. I think we need an official format war thread or area where people can argue as much as they want and stop derailing others. We should be able to have a HD-DVD or Blu-ray related discussion without it falling into people arguing about stuff that does not concern the thread topic, wheeling out the same old tired arguments in favour of one format or the other.

In this instance, this is a thread about the PS3 getting some free movies. Compairing this to the recent HD-DVD sale is great but why the heck did it have to devolve into an argument about HD-DVD being more mature and posters arguing with each other about it.

People come here to discuss Sony's offerings and the pros and cons of those offerings, not to kiss Sony's butt. If people come into this section and can hold an intelligent discussion about Sony's products, then they can post

Exactly but it becomes frustratingly annoying when EVERY SINGLE thread ends up in the same old arguments. It'd be like me going into the wii section and laughing about the wii's lack of HD in every thread. Other forums have official threads for people to argue about misgivings and things they dislike about a certain topic(In this case the PS3). Otherwise we end up with the mess we have here.

Yeah my PS2 was terrible for DVD playback. It wouldn't play half of them, and the ones it did would skip or have some other problem. And no it wasn't the condition of the disks, the thing just sucked. Yet it always played games fine :blink:

really?

wow thats odd, my "fat" PS2 with component cables made DVDs look better than my PS3 with HDMI cable. :|

Too bad there aren't any in the list he has to choose from for the other 5... lol.

Huh?

The Prestige

Swordfish

Stir of Echoes

Swat

Chain Reaction

Full Metal Jacket

American Psycho

I count those as all good movies. I'll end up just getting the 5 I bolded though, as my wife hates American Psycho and like Stir of Echoes. She also likes Swordfish more than she liked Full Metal Jacket so basically she gets 2 in this case and I get 3.

So the final tally winds up her being ahead by one movie still:(
