@op because years from now when there's only 1 format(presumably) I'd rather that format be controlled by a company other then Sony. This of course, has nothing to do with Nintendo vs Sony or any of that jibberish, it's simply that Sony has a history for overcharging for hardware and if they have a monopoly over the high def formats, we'll continue to overpay......simple as that imo.

Where do people get the idea that Blu-Ray is controlled by Sony? The BDA consists of over 170 companies, and Panasonic holds more patents in Blu-Ray tech than Sony. This is hardly Sony's format.

Where do people get the idea Microsoft controls HD-DVD?

People actually think that? Lol, I could see possibly Toshiba, but MS? MS doesn't give a crap about HD DVD.

But there are those claiming they paid Paramount and Dreamworks, not Toshiba, and it's not just Michael Bay.
