I was about to respond but then I'd be writing a serious response to a Manabyte thread :'(
I want to know which ax Manabyte's grinding here. 90% of his posts are about defending his favorite corporate brands/point-scoring against their rivals (the Avatar hate was strictly about protecting Lucas' place in the canon, for example). So why Blu-Ray?
Is it a MS vs. Sony deal?
Is it to justify Lucas dragging his feet on an HD release of the Star Wars movies?
Did Disney prefer HD-DVD?
Is the Blu-Ray standard derived from alien technology being secretly housed at Area 51?
Did he blow all his savings self-publishing a novel-length Jar Jar Binks/Daisy Duck slashfic and can't afford a BD player himself?
Inquiring minds want to know.

* The other 10% are scaremongering about immigrants and lies about his personal life.
