I have an extra copy of the DTS HD-DVD Sampler disc and I realize how many people want these things. So I was hoping to run a contest for whoever could write the best reason why they should have it over their AVS brethren.

I'll award extra points for humor, but one thing is very important - whoever I do award the sampler disc too, must swear not to resell it.

I will check this thread in seven days and make a decision. Feel welcome to post accolades for a great entry.

Moderators: If this is somehow against the rules of AVSForum, please send me a PM and tell me how it can be done so it doesn't break the rules.

I should have it because up here in Canada we walk on our hands and eat with our feet, and I love the challenge of inserting HD DVD discs without scratching them with my curly, uncut toenails.

HA!

You say it's free, but in reality you know it's only the beginning of a giant spiral into the black hole of spending more money on A/V equipment.

Then what comes next ...

Your wife sniffing at the credit card bill and wondering how it got so high ...

Then she goes out and buys herself some new $500 purse to counter your electronic glory buy.

Then you go out and buy the latest and greatest speakers,

then her, then you, then her, then you, then ...

Your card is maxed out and you can't even buy another HD DVD to watch and listen.

So do I want a totally HOT sampler disk to begin the long, winding road into financial disaster.

YOU BET YOUR SWEET A$$ I DO. Send me that good stuff please :p

Dear sir/madam,

I need to discuss with you as soon as possible regarding matters holding
me here in Canada and a possible partnership to make HD available for persons of most important.

Basically, my boss (Governor Chief Mr. B.D. Alliance), has been purchase of late a Toshiba HD-A2. I need a secure link outside the country to supply HD content most safely. I cannot reachhome by phone or anything because I am been monitored. My other boss (Minister of Finance) has been checking my VISA statemtns for HD-related procurement already since, and I am in fear of reprisal.....

However, you can search the internets with the name above for details and better understanding of what is going on and that this is no Joke.

I can arrange it to be transported to a SecurityCompany, so that the Sampler Disk can not be traced. I am contacting you to assist in transferring the Sampler Disk to my account as the beneficiary. If you are interested, I will tell you what to do to enable you to move this most desired content out of your country to a safe place from where it will not be sold.

I cannot give more information now, as I am afraid of whom I am contacting.
I need to act fast.

Let me know if you can help and I will send more information. Reach me on
the PM box only:-

Waiting your urgents response.

Mr. YW84U

Just for the record...can anyone actually listen to DTS-HD MA yet??? None of the HD DVD players fully decode it yet (I'm assuming they will with fw upgrade). None of the receievers that will decode it are out yet either.

Maybe you should wait to "auction" this disc off until someone can actually listen to the DTS-HD MA track on it?

Hi, the sampler disc you found is actually an alien device that 100% guarantees the prevention of STDs and pregnancy. The hole was custom-designed for my size when I was abducted which is why it's too small for you to use. Please give it back. The future of a thousand alien nymphs depend on it. Thanks.

I am part of Phase Hydra and I need to take this disc out of circulation. There's no reason to give people hope by showing samples of great sound and picture by an inferior format. A format that has already lost the war about 27 times since last January, so give up the disc.

Giving out this disc for free is an obvious sign that CriticalListener is going neutral.

If there is a solar eclipse I can look through a HD-DVD so that I dont hurt my eyes! now if I only had a HD-DVD.... :-)

Or if I am stuck somewhere I could use a HD-DVD to signal for help using it to reflect sunlight! If I only had a HD-DVD that is....

Or if I am on a date I could glue it to my shoe and... well you know...

If I only had a HD-DVD disc there is no end to the possibilities! :-)

oh, and you could put in the "strap-on" and listen to it of course and just be totally mesmerized by the fullness and presence dts has! hmm well that is as soon as they release the patch that is, and of course it wouldnt be full bitrate but its all I got at the moment :-(

I want to upgrade to the new black 120 gig /HDMI version of the xbox.
The only conceivable way to destroy my current xbox and stay under warranty would be to put in a disc with High Quality Audio since it doesnt seem to handle anything over there strict 1.1 MS Mono codec.

So either give it to me or rip and torrent it for all of us.

It was very clever of you to secure the plans to the death star in a HD encoded format. Armed with their dreaded blu-ray, the empire has already destroyed several strings of retail stores. If you send the plans to me, perhaps an analysis can uncover a weakness within the plans. I am sending this r2 unit... DOH! let me start again. I am sending the self addressed rebel envelope to your current location. you must ensure that the plans do not fall into the wrong hands. (activating force powers now) YOU MUST DELIVER THE DISK TO ME, OR MORE RETAILERS WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE. I think we both know what must be done. may the force be with you.

In fact, what you refer to as a DTS HD DVD sampler disc is the power transferrance coil to my time traveling ship, the Kong.

On my first trip through time, I wound up crash landing in the early 21st century. Somehow, pieces of my time ship scattered across the globe. I was not able to locate my missing power transferrance coil until I recently saw a picture of this DTS HD DVD sample disc you speak of. Analysis indicates that this disc has the exact magnetic and metallic design of my DTS HD DVD transferrance coil. I can only imagine that someone has mistaken it for some kind of digital medium and begun making replicas of it.

This disc is critical to my ship's function and I have thus far been unable to acquire this vital component for my ship. I must return home to my time and warn the population of the dangers of a lack of lossless audio. In our time, HD DVD won out because of the cheaper discs and incredibly important "interactive features," of which the now forgotten Blu-ray standard was lacking. However, I have now experienced lossless audio on a wide range of discs and I have found it is incredibly important that we go back in time to over a year ago when Sony and Toshiba were still arguing over the format.

I intend to travel back to that exact moment and "remove" the executives responsible for no compromises. I intend to replace them with replicants that will sensibly agree to combine the standards and give Toshiba a share of the patents to ensure they get on board.

I intend to travel back farther in the past and end this format war before it begins.

To do so, I desperately need what you are calling the, "DTS HD DVD Sampler disc." Without it, the format war will continue and the world will lose its chance at a world filled with predominantly lossless audio.

You must give me that disc! For the future of mankind!

I have kidnapped Jack Bauer’s daughter. She is safe for the time being, shackled to a water pipe in an abandoned restroom, off an unused spur of the NYC subway system. I have her under surveillance by a fellow in a weird clown face who keeps trying to give her a dull hacksaw. I won’t let him. Yet. He is really PO’d. I don’t understand the hacksaw thing; maybe it makes sense to you.

I have alerted CTU Los Angeles that exactly 723, five megaton plutonium bombs have been planted in malls throughout greater LA and that if my demands (using your name of course) are not met, millions of valley girls will be vaporized. So far, CTU has greeted this threat without a willingness to negotiate. I would call it enthusiastic apathy. When they were told a lawyer may also perish in the holocaust, they agreed to negotiate. Hmmmm! I don’t understand this either.

24 hours before your deadline, Jack Bauer will be told that the only way he can find his daughter, defeat the clown and routinely save the world is by deciphering an ancient Mesopotamian codex hidden in the “lossless” codecs found on an HD DVD disk that a certain CriticalListener has in his possession. (See footnote 1) I estimate that within 17 minutes and 42 seconds, Jack Bauer will have you in “protective” custody along with your immediate family and anyone else he feels has even heard your name. Under the kind of persuasion that only Jack Bauer can apply, someone will break in 30 or less seconds and tell him that only you have access to the disk and data. I can only imagine in my worst nightmare what Jack Bauer will do to you. Again and again and again. How can you tell him what he needs to know if you don’t know what he needs to know. Oh my God, he won’t know you don’t know. He’ll never stop.

This doesn’t have to happen this way. Save yourself. Save your family. In the name of God and all that’s holy - man, save the world, send me the disk and stop this insanity.

Footnote 1: Very few but the scholarly are aware that high quality audio was uniquely “lossless” in the fertile crescent prior to Nag Hammadi. It is recorded in the codex that music was better before the great god Dolby.

Hello criticallistener, I hope your name is indicative of your true nature because what I am about to tell you is a story of unbelievable truth. 14 weeks ago my wife of 10 years left me because of neglect and accusations of unloyalty, for she felt my love for the home theatre system and endless search for perfect sound and video quality, eclipsed my love for her. Needless to say, though my HT is a large part of my daily life, and a piece of my view of what happiness is, its not the love of my life, I must say that definition rest solely with my wife. Why give me the disc you ask since my HT isn't my everything..... let me continue. In the ensuing weeks apart me an my wife spoke, I was given a glimpse into the true depths of the hurt I perpetuated, and my wife stood fast to stay away without reconcile. It wasn't until two weeks ago when my wife went to a dinner theatre with a couple of mutual friends where she bare witness to this very same HDDVD demo you posess. Now seeing this demo in on its own, wasn't enough to propel my wife back to my arms; though seeing it did remind her of me, and incensed her with more of a feeling of melancholy, than love or yearning to be together, this wasn't what really caused her to react, but seeing the demo, and then there after seeing the sudo-intellectual love story, kindled a fire within my wife that caused her that very next morning to be on our doorstep. From that point when I answered the door, my wife threw herself in my arms and we proceeded to engulf ourselves in the most unadulterated, passionate, flowing, intimate love session that our 15 years of knowing each other has ever known. Now this is where the fate comes in. During that firery explosion of pure unconditional love, the PS3 nestled nicely in my cabinet downstairs, spontaneously caught fire, lighting a blaze to my Theatre room, and everything around it. During this time while engulfed in this very literal firery love haven, me and my wife persisted unknowingly. When we finally realized our beautiful house was a blaze, we proceeded out of the house only baring our skimpies and the love sheets to cover us. We then sat outside our house watching the growing blaze devour our life's dreams in a moments breath. It wasn't till after the last pieces of chard roofing fell that I had realized in my depressed state while my wife was away, I let the insurance lapse. While sifting through the chard remains trying to salvage anything and everything we could, also coming to terms with the fact we had just lost everything without a safety net, the lead fire chief comes to us and tells us one room has sustained little damage. As I cleared a path to our back downstairs room, I was amazed and dumbfounded that there stood my home theatre system, 60" ,HDDVD, Yamaha Receiver, and full set of Kef speakers unharmed. The PS3 on the other hand was later found to be the cause of the fire and of course was destroyed beyond recognition. Now seeing such a display or raw miraculousness of course caused my wife to garnish a sense of faith to what had happened. She of course changed her thoughts regarding the contempt she had for the HTS. She looked at it as a sign, and I haven't heard one thing about her complaints with my perceived obsession since. For me on the other hand, I looked at this as a ridiculous sign of great circumstance.... thats until I saw your post....you see... this disc represented a cataclysmic beginning of a turn of events that has brought me to this very point now, and before as these acts didn't dawn on me to be a sign for renewed faith.... Im now beginning to believe. You see this disc has renewed my faith, and in that, saved my marriage in addition to saving my sole. This disc represents so much to me, my family, and us going forward from here, and seeing this truly as a gift from the holy one. I hope you see the connection of you getting the extra disc, and me enduring what I have as a sign too.

I hope this note touches you well.

New found believer,

Hello criticallistener, I hope your name is indicative of your true nature because what I am about to tell you is a story of unbelievable truth. 14 weeks ago my wife of 10 years left me because of neglect and accusations of unloyalty, for she felt my love for the home theatre system and endless search for perfect sound and video quality, eclipsed my love for her. Needless to say, though my HT is a large part of my daily life, and a piece of my view of what happiness is, its not the love of my life, I must say that definition rest solely with my wife. Why give me the disc you ask since my HT isn't my everything..... let me continue. In the ensuing weeks apart me an my wife spoke, I was given a glimpse into the true depths of the hurt I perpetuated, and my wife stood fast to stay away without reconcile. It wasn't until two weeks ago when my wife went to a dinner theatre with a couple of mutual friends where she bare witness to this very same HDDVD demo you posess. Now seeing this demo in on its own, wasn't enough to propel my wife back to my arms; though seeing it did remind her of me, and incensed her with more of a feeling of melancholy, than love or yearning to be together, this wasn't what really caused her to react, but seeing the demo, and then there after seeing the sudo-intellectual love story, kindled a fire within my wife that caused her that very next morning to be on our doorstep. From that point when I answered the door, my wife threw herself in my arms and we proceeded to engulf ourselves in the most unadulterated, passionate, flowing, intimate love session that our 15 years of knowing each other has ever known. Now this is where the fate comes in. During that firery explosion of pure unconditional love, the PS3 nestled nicely in my cabinet downstairs, spontaneously caught fire, lighting a blaze to my Theatre room, and everything around it. During this time while engulfed in this very literal firery love haven, me and my wife persisted unknowingly. When we finally realized our beautiful house was a blaze, we proceeded out of the house only baring our skimpies and the love sheets to cover us. We then sat outside our house watching the growing blaze devour our life's dreams in a moments breath. It wasn't till after the last pieces of chard roofing fell that I had realized in my depressed state while my wife was away, I let the insurance lapse. While sifting through the chard remains trying to salvage anything and everything we could, also coming to terms with the fact we had just lost everything without a safety net, the lead fire chief comes to us and tells us one room has sustained little damage. As I cleared a path to our back downstairs room, I was amazed and dumbfounded that there stood my home theatre system, 60" ,HDDVD, Yamaha Receiver, and full set of Kef speakers unharmed. The PS3 on the other hand was later found to be the cause of the fire and of course was destroyed beyond recognition. Now seeing such a display or raw miraculousness of course caused my wife to garnish a sense of faith to what had happened. She of course changed her thoughts regarding the contempt she had for the HTS. She looked at it as a sign, and I haven't heard one thing about her complaints with my perceived obsession since. For me on the other hand, I looked at this as a ridiculous sign of great circumstance.... thats until I saw your post....you see... this disc represented a cataclysmic beginning of a turn of events that has brought me to this very point now, and before as these acts didn't dawn on me to be a sign for renewed faith.... Im now beginning to believe. You see this disc has renewed my faith, and in that, saved my marriage in addition to saving my sole. This disc represents so much to me, my family, and us going forward from here, and seeing this truly as a gift from the holy one. I hope you see the connection of you getting the extra disc, and me enduring what I have as a sign too.

I hope this note touches you well.

New found believer,

Kdbing

It seems as though most people took the statement about humor a lot further than I expected. I was really looking for someone who would try to advance the hi-def format and any humor would be awarded extra points.

That said, I actually lied about having an extra DTS HD-DVD sampler disc because I actually have two.

I've determined the winners to be:
wingzz - whose post wasn't very funny but stated a clear need for it.

and mrgribbles - whose post obviously took time, effort and was an interesting read.

If I get more discs from my rep I'll post a new contest.

Thank you CriticalListener,

I've tried calling Jack Bauer to let him know I've released his daughter but I keep getting this message. "The satellite you are trying to reach is temporarily overloaded, please try your call again later." I'll try again in 3-4 hours. Meanwhile, I think he's far enough away. Per CTU he's driving at 130 mph in a town called Castleton-On-Hudson, I'm sure we'll have enough time. Thanks again.
