Many industry insiders have argued that Sony offered Warner a large incentive to go exclusive, somewhere in the ballpark of $400 million for one to two years of exclusivity.
One word.
BULLSHIT
Why is it so hard to believe that warner just wanted to pick the better format, and the format that was best for their(and all) movies.

Are you in the industry? Didn't think so, so I don't see how your word is more relevant than theirs.

If they cancel the conference, how are they going to make the HUGE anouncement that Hug has been throwing in our face for a month. Nothing to see here, nothing to se here.
I guess now that Blu has won, Disk dont matter anymore. Everyone will be downloading 25 gig's worth of movies that will take 12 hours to down load. If thats the case, why was Tosh not smart enough to see that and quit making HD DVD.
How many times have I heard that HD DVD is almost the same as DVD and not much $ invested in it.
For all of you that unfortunatly were on a sinking ship, are you going to let one guy here hang onto your leg as he and ship go down.
Ebay just went HD-DVD exclusive.

Warner has already address this issue afterdawn hasn't put the story up yet.But does it really matter if they did paid them off? HD-DVD(Microsoft) paid off Paramount so what the differents this whole thing is about money point blank.
Warner: No Payoff for Move to Blu-ray
Warner Home Entertainment President Kevin Tsujihara says the studio took no pay-offs to exclusively back Blu-ray.
In a post-announcement conference call, Tsujihara flatly denied rumors that studio had accepted anywhere from 250M to $500M in exchange for dropping its HD DVD format support.
According to the exec, Warner's sole motivation in dropping its HD DVD format support was to ensure growth of the "category" and the long-term health of the industry.
"The packaged media business is a $42 billion dollar business worldwide at the retail level, and we [Warner] have the largest market share of anybody," said Tsujihara. "From our perspective, the most important piece of this whole puzzle is, "How do we get growth back into this category?" That far outweighed anything else."
This [decision] was one hundred percent around what makes the most sense for the consumer, the retailer and the industry. This was not a bidding war. This was all about what was best, strategically, for us."

The bottom line, Sony has more to offer the movie & gaming industry since they're involved in both. Warner, Disney, and the rest of the movie industry have no loyalty to Toshiba or Microsoft.
It's unfortunate because I really wanted HD DVD to prevail. I like the fact that they have a combo disc which means I can watch it on an HD DVD player and a regular DVD player whereas with Blu-Ray, I'm confined to only watching it on a Blu-Ray player.
I have both, a blu-ray plyaer and an HD DVD player. My Blu-Ray player is my PS3, of course. Just like everyone elses Blu-Ray player. The PS3 needs something 'cause the games they have now kinda suck in comparison to the Xbox360.
i agree with the beginning but you're wrong in your last paragraph.the 360 has no variety in games.halo 3 was over hyped by fanboys and it flopped,mass effect is actually a copy of an older game and it isnt that great,viva pinata(do i even have to go any further?).gears of war is the only solid game on the 360.360 can only look forward to the sequel of gears,fable and alan wake.these are not system sellers.
the ps3's sales will increase because most ps2 buyers are waiting until their sequels come out like:metal gear solid 4(system seller),killzone 2(have u seen the gameplay?),socom confrontation(Who doesnt love the greatest multiplayer on ps2),little big planet,final fantasy 13(do i have too expand?),gran turismo 5(seen the screenshots?),haze(amazing storyline which is rarely seen in any fps),and more.
ps3 has no solid games other than warhawk,uncharted and resistance yet it managed to sell more than 360 in its first year(also 360 didnt have any competition in its first year).in 08 its done,and with blu-ray coming out on top,there's no way microsoft can release the ultimate which wouldve included hd-dvd but would put them in further debt.

I agree. Gears of War was a PC rip and Halo was a MAC rip. They don't really have any stunners of their own...
Lol I remember last year when they were saying that they were just about to begin making profits off of sales when they then dished out 1 billion dollers because of all of the class action lawsuites against the quality of their systems :P

Did you really just type that shit. you were better off adding the fact that this was in your own arrogant opinion. Every videogame out is a copy of some other game. Whether it gets over hyped or not the money still talks in the end. The end result of it all is that you, I, and even everyone else fit in the category of one of those consumers.

I believe halo 3 is one the top 5 most selling new games or soemthing..... personally I hate it for being under dev'd....but sheessshhhhhh its sold more than 6 milloin titles.
and the 360 has sold 19+ million units the PS3 only 8ish
Also viva pinata is a cute fun lil game just because its cute dosent make it bad...I could continue to correct our blu bomber boy but whats the point talking to a viral spam bot.

most knew a decision was coming, but probably not before CES. atleast i wasn't expecting anything. what a huge kick in the sac just two days before their press conference. i don't think a certain someone will be grinning come CES, grinding teeth, sure. wonder how long it'll be till universal goes neutral. how bought paramount? guess m$ couldn't write the checks fast enough.
anyone remember that statement from m$ last year about the 360 having the potential or ability for a Blu-ray add-on? i know i do. hey, may be that was the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT from CES ole hughy was always talking about. nah probably not.

Ya BR 50GB is almost regularly used for film,as it should be they can cope with the price and bring it to the consumer for 20-40$.
Its not like 50GB is badly needed but its good to see them use it, I wish they use it more effectively to bring more product(TV episodes) to the consumer at a lesser price.

- There are not over 300 BD 50 titles though, are there?
Number of Blu-ray BD25 25gb movie discs = 213
Number of Blu-ray BD50 50gb movie discs = 216
Codecs - MPEG2 = 36.09
AVC = 35.86
VC-1 = 28.05

So it'a just a tad more than the "1 movie" you seem to want to claim it to be.
They have only just tipped over into a very slight BD50 majority, give it 3mths and my bet is that we'll see 25gb back in the majority.

Quite clearly I had realised I had a filter set wrongly and was editing to correct my error as you rushed in to post.
You can complain all you like but the (corrected) figures and stats given in my post are correct.
