Sorry to break it to you, but Sony does not have that type of power. The blu-ray IP is owned by a coalition of companies. Also, Sony is not the only blu-ray LED manufacturer in the world so you are wrong again. |
Uh, no, well, the management at the Blu-ray forum, anyway claims that Sony is the sole owner of the Blu-ray IP, but you might be confusing the IP with the Blu-ray association.
In either case your second point is quite correct, as manufacturers all over the world can make LEDs that a player could feasibly use, but they have to get Sony's permission, and this means $$$.
