For what its worth, I don't believe Sony has yet profited directly from Blu Ray with their Blu Ray fabrications. From what I hear they have too much capacity and not enough utilization at present and their fabs have thus far lost them money.

Thats what I read from www.beyond3d.com, you can take it or leave it.

What fabs? U mean the Sony Blu ray players or do they make the lasers for all manufacturers?

The discs themselves. From what I recall the majority of their patents relate to manufacturing of the discs and they have something like 90% of world wide Blu Ray production capacity under their wing.

What? U mean the actual disc that a movie like Dark Knight comes on? And blank discs too?

I thought anyone could make Bluray discs, just like DVDs.
