| Sansui said: Hard to say.... Back when Fox and Warner were just about ready to side with HD DVD, Sony paid off Fox with 120 million to go blu ray. Warner followed suit and got 400 million in payouts. If MS's console had been vested in HDDVD, maybe there would have been significant counteroffers, or maybe with the year headstart of the xbox, the install base would have tipped the other companies earlier. |
I think you need to provide a link to the above statement.
Maybe you are confused by the 150 million that Microsoft paid to Paramount for exclusive HDDVD support. My link -> http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/21/technology/21disney.html?fta=y
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
