==> we dont know if it is done.
I think you dont have to pay when you sell well.
Nintendo didnt pay Capcom to make Monster Hunter 3 exclusive the Wii. They just show their sales numbers in Japan compared to the PS3 and it is ok.

It was this comment: "of course, Microsoft can still buy a 18 month exckusivity if they want."

You basically implied that only that side does such a thing. You honestly think Sony didn't make deals with studios to support blu-ray? Disney actually co-developed the programming for HD-DVD, but then switched sides. You think there was no incentive to do that?

Of you think Sony might not be in talks with Warner about this apparent move?

Not all studios are being payoffed.  Fox is legitimitely supporting Blu-Ray because of their avid love of DRM.  BD+ was the deciding factor for them.   When AACS got cracked, they stopped putting out titles on Blu-Ray for months! 

Actually, that's one of the things that negated the Paramount exclusivity effect.  Fox had been almost non-existent on the BD front for most of 2007, and didn't start releasing titles again until around the time Paramount went exlcusive, so in a way it was like both formats gained an exclusive studio, thus negating any affecting Paramount had on software sales, aside from Transformers.
