If the 720 goes BD then more people will buy the movies and on top of that MS will have to pay sony a royalty for the privelage to use the disc. China? The news that i have read recently shows that china is becoming more and more Blu-ray supportive. In fact if you give me a few minutes I can bring up some news about the greater degree of BD support in china..The thing of it is that the studios will support blu-ray if anything because it is harder to get beyond the BD's copy protection. So, the studios will get more money per copy of BD , than dvd on average. I dunno, i'd think that the studios will support the move to Blu-ray if they can be assured that the costs for movies and players will come down. |
That's funny, because MS owns the rights to the codac used in Bluray. And I believe they own a small stake in it. (why not, it was smart business, just in case HD DVD failed, they would still make money from Bluray.)
