that excludes the ps3. I would say the majority of blu ray players out there at the moment would be ps3

He told me that this is how the VHS Tapes won over Beta years ago. (Before some of you on this forum were probably born:-)) Bantu (52)

Imagine the confusion with HD tv and HD video and HD DVD's

And how many of you buy porn as opposed to just downloading it?

629623 2008-01-21 18:34:00 Another article confirms Blu Ray has won. So what happened? Fox was handed $120 million by Sony to stay put, and Warner received around $500 million for painting itself Blu.

But several weeks ago, before Warner defected, things could have turned out quite different. One reliable source confirmed to us a few days before the Warner/Blu-ray deal went down, a Fox executive called Robbie Bach (Microsoft's head entertainment exec) confirming they were going exclusive to HD DVD, not Blu-ray. And if Fox went, the deal was that Warner would go, according to the same source. At the last minute, Fox decided to stick with Blu, effectively taking Warner with it. Toshiba's total surprise at the Warner shift corroborates that it was an 11th-hour move. Graffeo also confirmed that a bunch of HD DVD execs were on the plane to Vegas when the news dropped, so they had no idea.

Cute photo at top of that article sums it up.
