Re: Toshiba Comments on Blu-ray Announcement from Warner Bros

Just like we all know that betamax was better, and Sony lost to VHS... In 15 years we'll be talking about how BR won, but was inferior to HD-DVD.

No second REAL video decoder. No mandatory ethernet. More expensive to make the units and the discs (which is ALWAYS passed onto the consumer). Can't make "mini" BRs (you can put HD content on a DVD and it will play as a real HD-DVD).

Just like the VHS/betamax -- the inferior product will win (BR). Only next time nobody will feel bad for Sony.

No, numbers don't lie, but, people do ! Like blu-ray constantly having 2 for 1 sales, and then counting the thousands of freebies and give-aways as SOLD disc . Counting millions of PS3's as sold blu-ray players, but, yet, not a single Blu-ray disc ever sold a million copies, or, even came close. Like Warner Bros., stating that they had no plans of dropping hd-dvd and promised continued support through 2008. Learn your lesson now man, don't ever, EVER trust big business. It's the bribes and payoffs that they are looking out for, instead of looking out for the consumer ! ! !

When the numbers come from independent sources, I can fully trust it. It is funny how no one here was this upset when paramount dropped Blu and didn't have the courtesy to ship out the products they had already announced.At least the fan boys here will get what they were promised by WB.
