I think either dvd 2.0 or blu-ray but hvd will be cheaper by 2011-2012 which is when its scheduled to be released to the consumer market.

blu ray.
obvious reason, if not they will use it call it differently but based on the blu laser diode tech from sony/toshiba
a format it's expensive to develop. blu ray was on japan 2003, to finalize it took until 2006
so i dont see microsoft developing their own
Blu-ray. It will be the cheapest in a few years after DVD dies.
DVD won't be an option by then. I think it's gonna have to be BR.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
I don't know M$ would have to pay Sony straight out of their pockets for every Xbox sold, since Sony owns the rights to Blu-Ray
2010 Hardware Sales Predictions
Wii: 20m- Sales will drop, but not by much.
PS3: 13.5m- It sold 12m in 2009, its only common sense it will sell more this year.
Xbox 360: 11m- It sold 11m in 2008 and 2009, I think it will sell the same.

Why do you have to make excuses to defend a product that you purchased, but that's the only connection you have to it, you don't make it, you don't lose or gain money on it. I don't see where all of the defensiveness comes in, there is no reason for you or anybody else to feel obligated to defend it. Now I would understand if one of you were a developer for the product and you slaved over said product only to hear somebody call it stupid or a piece of junk. But none of you developed it, none of you are mature enough to realize that. Choosing a product all comes down to preference, you chose said product because it is best for you. Simple as that!

You mean like Sony uses Windows in their computers? I don't think it will be that big of an issue.

actually they do pay each other, and sony just developed the technology.
BDA it's made from other companies that continue to improve on sony idea.

Sony is only one of those in BR. Windows is on Sony laptops and in plenty of other ways they pay each other money. This gen MS will stick to their guns with DVD, but next gen, particularly with increasing uptake of BR for movies, they will probably slap BR in the machine unless they really, really think they can go another 5 plus years with DVDs, but that seems chancy to me.

BDA is a compilation of pretty much all the supporters of Blu-Ray the developers are Sony/Toshiba,
And yes they already pay each other due to patents
