Sony's Blu-ray Beats Toshiba's HD DVD

The consumer loses again

As in oil, this is fantastic news for North American's, another monoply.

$ony after over a year of shoving down the consumer's throat, that They know what's good for them, will recoup their billions, by artificially maintaining overpriced & overrated machines. It's amazing how naive the consumer is on this subject, guess they can't read anymore. Toshiba in the techs dept. beats $ony hands down.

The greed & bullying tactics $ony has employed to become a cartel, would land a citizen in prison.

$ony defenders write like this muti-national is their " friend," that $ony cares about your family, your job, your insurance.

Well I hope the people who who feed the gluttonous sheiks & orientals will find some solace in the future, with a world filled with $ony women who drink only Pepsi.

A Blu Decade

It's kind of like how music is completely digital for me, but for some reason people are still buying and selling CDs. So, I'm assuming the market for high definition movies (MUCH harder to download 50GBs than 2MBs) will have a good ten year run at least.

There's no doubt that Sony's PS3 player promote the Bule Ray.

Don't forget when PS2 was put on market, DVD hadn't been popular yet.

I Think you need to do some research on how much the DVD/Blu Ray market is currently worth.

Also I don't think much time was lose when you take into consideration of the fact of competing formats naturally drives down the price more rapidly.

Now consider mainstream will adopt when price to DVD players and value becomes more comparable.

And Don't forget every PS3 sold is Blu Ray Player (and a good one at that!) and forecast sales for PS3 for 2008 is estimated at 20 million Worldwide.
