ok I'm a bit late... I read page one of the post and half of page 2...

i have 2 question when was the last time Sony and co won a format war against toshiba and co ???

and who thinks that the real future of HD is DL or streamin on demand.....????

and about disney..... they do have the HD disc exclusiv BD.... but you can DL their movies in HD on XBL.... so is it really a closed deal with BR on the long run ???

1. CD.

2. That what MSFT want aswell (hence the moneyhats to Universlal, Paramount and Dreamworks)

3. They are tied in with BD on optical media.

 

CD wasn't a format war, it was (pretty much) a standard that everyone in the industry supported. Even though Sony was one of the partners with CD, as CD became the dominant format Sony attempted to undermine its success by being a heavy supporter of Digital Audio Tape and Mini Disc.
