I don't care what anyone says. This deal involved big bucks from the HD-DVD camp. To think otherwise is ignorant.
Next time I won't quote any other source and just post it as my opinion. Of course the studios are not telling how much they were bribed. I always thought it was "Money makes the world go around" not "Just because we feel like supporting a perceived dying format makes the world go around".
Well then thats the worst business decision (if no money was involved) Ive ever seen.
you do not follow much business news then.
i am not here to argue, i was simply interested in the news of the post. see, i am one of the members who reads others posts here and i saw your quote, which is clearly gossip so i chose to comment on it.
oh and even if it is your own opinion, it is an ill-informed one. sure, it could be true, but you have no first hand knowledge of any promotional consideration either.

What about Sony buying out Blockbuster?.. people didn't seem to be too concern about that. But when MS does it its bad.

I'm not saying its bad or good. I'm saying money and lots of it was involved, which makes things interesting, just about the time it looked like Blu-ray was pulling away. I didnt put my first post in this thread to start an attack. I just thought some people might find what others are saying interesting. I guess its just fun to argue on the internet with strangers(or protect your personal interests). I don't feel that way anymore so have fun with this thread guys.
haha! i am FOR competition. i could care less which format wins because i can afford both players, but i want cheaper dvd prices sooner than later so i can start replacing my library with whichever has the best features(usually hd-dvd).
