In Reply to: The format war formally ended in October when NEC announced they had produced a chip that can cheaply handle both posted by jaiva on January 9, 2007 at 15:33:34:
Having a chip and having a player that lives up to the capabilities of each format is two different things. Look at LG's combo player -- missing a thing or two.I actually think the format war's "beginning of the end" started in November '06 and will, for all intents and purposes, pretty much end in March '07.
Follow Ups:
You seem to be giving out their talking points *verbatum* lately-rather transparently too. Sony announced the "war" was over at CES, and typical of Blu-ray, its now been pushed back to March. They'ld better hurry-up and do something, because their discs just aren't selling. Lots of PR, LOTS of BS, especially from (fair and balanced)Fox. Not alot of substance.
Joe Sixpack isn't going to buy a $1000 DVD player that doesn't even play CDs. Demand for PS3 is slowing down, and many don't want it for movies.

What's being pushed back until March?
The other day, Sony announced at CES that the "war" was over.
Later, a top clown from Fox stated that the "war" would be over by March '07, hence being pushed back a few months. :-)

was given by FOX. It will be pretty much over when the PS3 is released in Europe (March '07).
It was supposed to be over when the PS3 hit stores in the US. That didn't happen. First Sony said they would crank out 8 Million by the end of '06. Then they said 6M. Then they said 2M. It turned out to be 1M. So far, everything they have said about the PS3 has been dead wrong.
I'm not drinking the Blue Koolaid, but you obviously are.
