HD-DVD lost because of toshiba IMO, and they can only blame themselves for it. They like other's here have pointed out by their own fault only made the players themselves, very bad move if your goal(which it should be in the first case) is market penetration. I think that everyone here understand in fine details about these HD formats, bit rates, resolutions, ect.., but joe 6-pack doesn't and the thing that toshiba didn't do or take advantage of was informing potential buyers what was so special about these new disks.

Sony is at least talking about resolution factor, but with upscaling dvd players out there joe 6-pack takes one look at juno on dvd then laughs when he see that the HD version is $34. One thing that I'm not sure of , but think I remember hearing is if sony takes a royalty on every blu-ray and if so what the damages are for studios? I wonder if that makes any difference on the price?
