ihamoitc2005 said:BD is a much superior format. It is ok to come up with new technology no? This is progress and so BD was developed. No one says HD-DVD is superior format. Only advantage is initial equipment cost is very low.
But at CES MS says it likes to force consumers, computer manufacturers, movies studios, etc. to accept much inferior easy scratch HD-DVD format with 60% capacity. Why does Microsoft want everyone to have inferior format? Not because it is superior. Not because Microsoft makes extra money when HD-DVD sells. But for strategy to weaken other companies and this is done using monopoly advantage of OS. This is unfortunate no?
All these companies are doing what theyre doing becuase its in their best interests, for not other reason. Not for you, for me, the general public, no its for money.
And as Sis said earlier, if the movie studios would have agreed to s singular format we're not even having this discussion.
