I agree a payoff is possible. At this point Blu-Ray was probably desperate to leave, so to get them to decide earlier they might have paid them off. I just think $500,000,000
is such a huge amount.

But your just providing the source, not starting the rumor. I just think 50 million would be more reasonable, since it seemed like Blu-Ray was on the way to winning anyways. Just a little cash to seal the deal.

Off-topic:
And to those people saying Sony doesn't pay people off, I am a Sony fan, but I don't believe Sony are in any way saints. They may not be as bad as Microsoft because they are a little more stubborn, but I believe Sony pays people off when they dont have 70% of the market share like they did with the PS2.
