HDBeat Podcast 022 - 07.18.06

Updated Tue, Jul 18, 2006, 7:00 AM·2 min read

The entire HD Beat is crew is here for the first time as Podcast number 22 goes down as the first with 4 hosts, including our newest team member Erik Hanson. Of course more people means more opinions and more time so I hope you like your Podcasts long. We think you will as we have some interesting dialog, Ben continues to badger anyone who doesn't agree with him, but we can give as much as we can take and the rest of us let him have it.

Lots of HD DVD vs Blu-ray news this week, yeah we know big surprise, but we all had something to say about Major Nelson's interview, as well as other announcements and opinions. We are all going to be doing the Podcast together from this point forward and while we realize they might be longer, we are interested in knowing if we run too long, so feel free to post your comments and let us know if we should keep it shorter. Of course that doesn't mean we will change it, but at least you will feel better after you rant. We know we always do!
