Exactly that . HD DVD ftw! Also cheaper to manufacture players as Sony want stupid payouts for Blu-Ray.

Buy the rights to get a Blu-ray add on obviously. Microsoft have enough ££'s to buy Sony 2 times over and still have change .

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

funny you mention that.
could it be possibility the M$ buying yahoo is a smoke screen to eyeing up sony?
M$ could afford it and combining with sony would make it a force in many areas

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

Just be like Laserdisc then won't it!

Shame, I thought HD DVD was going to win, shame on Tosh for giving in.

Also shame the proposed multi format player never materialised.
