Pauline Walker,
Human Resources Manager
"So you're saying all that time I spent watching HD-DVD movies was a waste?"

Gideon Parfrey,
Systems Analyst
"In Best Buy stockrooms and Costco warehouses across the country, you can look back at the carnage left behind from the HD-DVD–Blu-Ray war and you have to ask yourself: Was it worth it?"

Darren McCloskey,
Dock Worker
"If you're telling me I need to buy my kids another copy of Night At The Museum, I'm putting a gun in my mouth."
