Is it embarrassing to be a fanboy of something that failed or obviously sucks?

Question

just wondering how the HD-DVD fanboys feel about its failure

or how the 360 fanboys feel that microsoft still cant get rid of the red ring

Answer 1

I love my 360. Nothing's perfect.

When mine broke, they fixed it for free. No biggie.

Answer 2

blue ray only won the battle because the hardware is better. the movies are the same. CD and DVD used a red laser. HD-DVD used a violet laser that has a finer beam(allowing for more data on a disc). then sony put out the blue ray (they have been working on it sense the early 90s). it has an even finer laser then HD-DVD. allowing for even more storage. now don't through away your HD-DVDs quite yet. what most people aren't realizing is that a blue ray player can read HD-DVDs. all they need is the software to be able to do so(already available for computers and LG makes a home player). so HD-DVD is not dead any more then DVD is.

Answer 3

There are people who become fans of video encoding technologies?  Really?   Why?

Answer 4

Embarassing that you like what you like, are aren't so insecure that you have to go with the herd mentality, and care what others think?  Why?  The 360 rocks, and I've never had a problem with mine...should I hate it?  HD-DVD failing was all about politics and PR, and really doesn't have anything to the technology itself...

But then some sheep like you reads an article that says you shouldn't like it, so you don't...typical...

Answer 5

No it's not do what you want and stay with what you like, not what everyone else is doing. Remember you are your own person and that's what makes you unique.
