Why the hell does everybody think Blu ray is by Sony alone? Philips, Matsushita, Sony, Samsung, LG, Apple, Thomson, Pioneer, Hitachi, Sharp and Mitsubishi are joint responsible for it and they made the right choice.
The blame goes to hd dvd, they released an inferior product with the sole purpose of pressing out a superior format and all they ultimately achieved were thousands of customers with a hd dvd player that can only be used for upscaling dvd's now. Once again another war has been fought at the expense of the customer and once again the name Microsoft pops up.
Edit: New line interactive also went Blu ray exclusive
