Yeah, the ones who were dedicated to the 360 from the getgo and bought that HD-DVD drive should learn to bite the bullet, I mean, business tactics should prevail from customer satisfaction is what I'm getting from your post.

Why would any customer who bought the HD DVD drive "bite the bullet" in case Blu-ray won the war and an additional Blu-ray drive was offered by MS? The drive is an optional enhancement, so any customer who bought it bought it willingly, being aware of the ongoing format war and knowing that it might not pay off in the end, hence it being optional. In contrast, Sony would make their customers bite the bullet should they lose, since they forced everyone to spend money on that over-expensive Blu-ray thing which is not neccessary for playing games.

Come on, a good number of people bought the HD-DVD drive because it was also hyped by Microsoft, and countering people who said that HD-DVD might fail. And you mean to tell me people wouldn't have a problem giving back their HD-DVD drives and HD-DVDs for far more less? I want an honest answer from you, if Sony had done this, would you be jumping all over them?

And I agree, if Blu-ray flopped, then that would be it for the PS3. But unlike Microsoft, Sony at least have backed it, are backing it, and will be backing it, whereas Microsoft's real intention was probably just to give Sony a hard time and start another format war.

People want to put Microsoft in a better light than Sony, when they are almost on the same wavelength when it comes to spouting bullshit; you mean to tell me there is a difference between Microsoft's crap and Sony's shit?
