Microsoft stop HD DVD Manufacturing

Xbox will no longer manufacture new HD DVD players for the Xbox 360, but we will continue to provide standard product and warranty support for all Xbox 360 HD DVD Players in the market. As we stated earlier, we do not believe this decision will have any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace.

I have a "slight dislike" of Microsoft, but I certainly respect them. You will not see me putting them down when they didn't do anything bad.
I think your biggest problem is that you are FOSS, which start as "anti-Microsoft" movement. I agree with FOSS, and I like free S/W, but that does not mean I "HATE" Microsoft.
I think the "hate" vibe we got from your post is the cause for your downbid. If you can tone down your "hate" vibe, I think you will not get (much) downbid.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

RE: Microsoft stop HD DVD Manufacturing@vGInfidel, So you'd be quite happy for MS to monopolise console gaming like they have PC gaming / desktop computing? If I had something against people making money then surely I'd hate Nintendo. They're making plenty. Microsoft has never been a good thing for the consumer. They put profit above the consumer every time. I happen to be a FOSS advocate, so there's another reason I love to see MS fail miserably. In case you care, the company I have the most love / respect for is Nintendo not Sony. Maybe I like Nintendo a bit too much...and this bothers you because?...[ Contributor ] [ Level 19 ] [ Rank: 467 ]bids

They introduced it as an add-on specifically for the worst case scenario which has now triggered: HD-DVD losing the format war. This is merely following the exit plan they had devised for this scenario since the beginning.[ Admin ]bids

Really? I detest them with every fibre of my being and I'll never tone down my beliefs to get game points. There is too much at stake here. It's a matter of principle. You're right about communicating the hate though. That probably needs to be toned down a little...I'll work on that :) Nobody's perfect ;)
Just one example of what MS do that is "bad"
