Why all the hate? BD was expected to be harder than HD-DVD to stamp commerically. Everyone knew this, including the studios that signed up for BD.
And, people keep calling this a Sony format. You're not over that yet? If anything, HD-DVD is more proprietary given it's lack of support.
FYI; Toshiba, the principle backers of HDDVD, collect rolyalties on all things related to DVD because its their encoding format that is used in DVDs. Perhaps, everyone got fed up with them and told them to f*ck off when they came around with the HD-DVD specs.
