I completely aggree with you. You made excellent points. I think Sony is just trying to do this so that can say they can do what HD-DVD could do since DAY 1.
I personally think HD-DVD should have won and was suposed to win, they were gaining steam and kept it close despite being outsold 5-10 to 1 because of the PS3 and until Sony paid everyone off. Blu-ray isn't even finished yet, is not region free, riddled with DRM, and is more expensive. Did anyone notice when the format war ended the price of blu-ray movies and players jumped a little? My friends who work for best buy noticed it and were talking about.
Plus all the early adopters are going to be screwed when profile 2 comes out because they can't do java based movies and sony knows about it and doesn't even care they expect their loyal followers to keep buying their crap.
I know, i know you are all going to flame me. Well go ahead i don't care.
There is one more thing i wanted to say. Everyone saying Blu-ray was not the new beta was wrong and everyone saying HD-DVD was the new beta was right but not for the reason you think. Because beta was better then VHS but lost so seeing how HD-DVD was better and lost which means HD-DVD was the new beta haha. :-p
