yeah, they definitely have a say in who gets the BD drive, b/c it is Sony's intellectual property. Do you think that Sony would give away the right to include a BD drive to MS of all companies for ...... free?

It actually isn't their intellectual propery. They hold less then 30% of the Blu-Ray IP.

do you have a link to this?

Sorry just findthat a bit hard to beleive...I mean the Blu-ray has been Sony's idea all along, I just can't see them really needing anyone else to the extent that having such a low amount of the IP would imply.

 I can probably find one.  I've posted it on these boards a few times it's a pretty old NPD article.
