Nice! They should have worked together 2,5 years ago to create a single HD format

Maybe this is a sign of the times. It would be a major shocker for all the consumers if these 2 companies made amends and worked together on the HD DVD technology we have been eatting up for the past 18 months. Let's just hope so for all of us that would be awesome.

Sony wanted all the pie for the next gen HD players... Don't forget that the "DVD" consortium worked on HD-DVD... Sony did BluRay to get a bigger chunk of the pie.

You know, as they say "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Maybe they have seen the light. I doubt it though.
On a related note, Fox News Radio reported yesterday that Blockbuster (I think) and LG were working together to develop a set top box to download hd movies from the internet which would not need a connection to a personal computer.

Same three companies developed the "cell" processor" for the Blu-ray enabled PS3. Now I read recently that Sony has sold off its share of the processor back to Toshiba.

@Steve:
I think it was Netflix announced that deal with LG for the set top box. I also heard they are working with other outlets like Xbox Live for movie services. They said it's all just in talks, no announcements.

Cellien,
It as Netflix. I stand corrected. I just read this on HiDef Forum:
"Online DVD-rental pioneer Netflix Inc. and LG Electronics said Thursday that they're developing a set-top box that will allow consumers to stream movies and other content directly from the Web to their high-definition TVs. It's a move that could put new pressure on the already-declining DVD market."
"Among the possible consequences of the Netflix-LG alliance is that some consumers will see one less reason to buy DVDs. In the first six months of 2007, DVD sales dropped 12.5% from the year-earlier period, according to data from the research firm Global Media Intelligent. "
Got this off of the Marketwatch site, but you can google Netflix news and probably find it.
