It's just that kind of blog. The "Snark" isn't just a play on words. Anyway, my response was probably a bit rough, in part due to my working with two hours of sleep. Woe is me. Seriously, come back soon and set my facts straight again, if necessary. I promise not to be bitchy about it. Much. Justy, I kid, I kid! It’s just that kind of blog.

I was just saying that that wasn't really news. I also understand why they wouldn't pick at this time simply due to the fact that unlike a major distributor, neither they, nor FUNimation, have the cash to produce both, and like most of the small distributors are going to wait until the dust is settled, neither wins, and all the HD content is delivered over the internet (at least I hope that's what happens. please let that happen). And, if my post came off as negative, I do apologize, as I didn't intend for it to come off that way. -Justy I know.

I don't really blame Harmony Gold for waiting for the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD contest to get settled... I imagine a lot of their sales come from the 'long tail', and there's no point in committing to a format that might be obsoleted.

Everybody involved with Robotech at Harmony Gold has been saying that they'll wait for the dust to settle in the HD-DVD v. Blu Ray battle before they release the HD version ever since they started screening Shadow Chronicles at film festivals last year. As for 3000, people booed a few minute trailer created by Netter Digital. That's all the 3000 footage that exists, for better or for worse. -Justy As a Robotech Podcaster (The RDF Underground) and a long time Robotech fan, I think I should bring this up.

Grew up with it, and it was easily my favorite cartoon, more so than the adventures of Optimus, Lionnel, Duke, Matt Trakker and their respective ilk. That said, I'd love for Hollywood to leave this one alone. I would hate, hate, HATE for Paul W.S. Anderson or one of his imitators to give this the AVP treatment. And I think that's 10 times more likely than anything really worthwhile bring produced. I love Robotech.
