I'm not going to quote anyone since there were several people mentioning Sony's failed formats, and I've pointed this out plenty of times before: Sony was a huge part of the CD format and a big part of the DVD format. In the case of the DVD, they gave up their own format to contribute their tech for DVD. As for betamax, it was technically better than VHS but didn't record long enough early on for recording sports, watching porn, etc.

Sony doesn't always fail, and blu-ray isn't just Sony's format. The hatred is unecessary.

How is the hatred for anything about gaming necessary (aside from maybe jack tompson )?

The hatred for HD-DVD doesn't make sense, if you think about it.

I agree there...I don't "hate" any media, I just find hd-dvd inferior and useless because blu-ray exists.  I understand there are a few interactivity features that are better (until blu-ray java is used more), but certain dvds have those and I couldn't tell you which ones.

But whatever, no one trusts my opinion because I like my PS3 and clearly that clouds my judgement.
