I dont know if the PS3 is the main reason why HD-DVD is dead. I think it was the studios who fell back from supporting HD-DVD and joined the Blu Ray side that brought Toshiba to stop production of HD-DVD players, discs, etc, with anything involved with Toshiba's HD-DVD tech. |
Oh absolute crap! Sony put BR on PS3 because they tought the PS3 would fly off the shelves and movie companies would look at BR hardware sales and think thats a lot of hardware! Not to mention Sony bought there way through the format war!
Follow Sony and you follow the devil!

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
