Toshiba sold their oldgen ugly players at 500% loss. They continue to lose money even on the third gen. That is why no other company joins the losing game. Even if they keep up with that it will not last longer since BD gets cheaper. And soon every PC will have cheap BD drive for backups and general usage (games and software cant fit to DVDs anymore). It will be all over soon. The longer hd dvd manages to survive the better for Blu-ray since it drives BD price down.
I've said it once, I've said it a million times: Where the hell are you getting your facts from!? Give us a weblink supporting your views. I fine with you being a Blu fan or even a Blu Fanboy, but outright trollers like yourself, HDpurist, h4Idol, et al, do more damage to your camp than support it. Stop being a d-bag and get off your arse and give us something worth a damn!
500% loss ? do you mean that when they sell a player that cost them 200$ to make, they're losing 1000$ ? They're magicians ! With a technique like this George W could bankrupt America waaay faster !

The most popular Blu-ray player is the PS3, which is sold at a substantial loss.

Wow, way to make just make up numbers.
66.45% of Blu-ray zealots really own HD-DVD, but just won't admit it.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the BD FUD machine...

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

Wake up. Even your own team is claiming a stalemate. I smell blood in the water--and it's blu-blood.
