Blu-Ray/Sony = EPIC FAIL
Blu-Ray can kiss my DVD-Loving butt happy

I would love to see Blu-Ray become the biggest failure in the history of electronics/home-entertainment only to teach these media companies one big lesson about abusing their customers. Let's put that puppy up on the shelf right next to that old RCA Capacitance-Disk player.

Apparantly things are headed in that direction happy
