Sony and the rest of the BluRay Consortium have been spending their money in the wrong places. BR should have been the top choice for computing, given the larger storage capacity. Instead, HD DVD will soon be so entrenched in the PC market that it will be here to stay.
Launching the PS3 with BR drives and taking a loss just to push adoption: $1 billion
Issuing a PR campaign saying the war is over and Blu-ray won: $ 100 million
Watching Walmart selling HD DVD stand alone players at less than $199: priceless.

LOL so now you need a player under $199 to "attempt" to win the war.
LOL.....wasn't $200 the magic selling point.
Someone missed his weekly HD-DVD awareness meeting.
