Opens fine for me. No fluid shots or anything. Just HD-DVD and Blu-Ray playing chess.

I saw on another forum that they are banning any discussion of this incident over there.

I also used to really enjoy DVDFile, but it's seriously been since the end of 2003 when I last read that site, or posted on their board. The board is what probably drove me away originally, because they had some real jackaces who seemed to reign supreme over there.

If people are not careful DVDTALK could end up like that. Thankfully there are enough good people with enough sense to reign that sort of BS in right now.
My call on the File's downfall is a combo of Peter going & their slide into studio shilling cut'n'paste reviews along with the above. "2 Thumbs up" sort of reviews. And those "jackaces" know where they can stick 'em

The BIGGEST flunkies gotta be DVDREVIEW, why that place still is up & running is a mystery to me.

I go there for their easter egg data. One of the best I'm aware of.

Before they switched to being able to browse solely by searching via title.

That's it in a nutshell. Anyone who is curious what happened to Peter, here you go...

Yes, we have Digital Bits for that now.
