I don't have details about all that went on with Blockbuster, but didn't it strike you as interesting that we heard about both Blockbuster's and Target's move from the Blu-Ray group PR machinery rather than Blockbuster or Target themselves? Not what I'd expect if Blockbuster's had been entirely their own internal business decision.
You can post a link to whatever MS-related article you want, but it ultimately doesn't matter where the $150M came: Microsoft, Toshiba, Intel, whatever: They are all Hollywood outsiders, so who cares? OTOH, The Blu-Ray group's hands are tied because Sony is both a major player in the Blu-Ray consortium and the motion picture industry. It'd be ironic as hell if Sony Pictures were forced to go format-neutral in order to keep the B-D consortium out of legal trouble.
