...the battle will rage even longer before B-R wins.I hate Sony and its arrogance, rather the same way I hate Microsoft and its monopolistic marketing/bullying tactics.
I bought a 23" widescreen monitor 3 years ago, a Sony; $3K RR. Last fall it died and Sony replaced it with a refurbed unit. That died a couple weeks later and Sony replaced that one too. The third one died last week, out of warranty, and guess which brand of consumer electronics I'll NEVER buy again? Others, too, I've talked to feel that way.
I believe this hi-def-DVD-format war was created by Sony in its refusal to allow its licensing income to decrease, no matter how good for the industry (including Sony) it would have been.

***I believe this hi-def-DVD-format war was created by Sony in its refusal to allow its licensing income to decrease, no matter how good for the industry (including Sony) it would have been.Well... isn't that how free economy is supposed to work? Companies compete, put their products on the market, let the consumer decide?
Why should Sony, or anyone else for that matter, fold their tent simply because someone somewhere believes they should?
But still... I am sitting here wondering if this "war" is akin to Ferrari-Lamborghini feud... who really cares which one wins? Are there any practical implications to people, outside a small club of fans?
I somehow doubt the HD will become next generation medium.
