I wonder what 500 millions represent for something as huge as the BDA... But I guess this is a nice bonus for Time Warner. A naive comment could be : poor BDA had no choice as the HDDVD supporters started to pay studios to go exclusive on their side.
Now it's a bit sad they did not choose their side according to the quality or consumers interest. But business is business, isnt' it ? Actually, this entire "format war" is stupid, they should have agreed on one unique heir to DVD before releasing it
