Re: Is Sony Ready To Pull The Plug On Blu-ray?


you can never tell what's going to happen. For the right deal... Sony could thow in their hand and get behind a unified format or even HD DVD. If HD DVD goes with some kind of royalties to Sony, what's the difference to them?

Company pride perhaps, and Sony has a lot of it.

But if HD DVD is willing to go bargain basement price AND pay out to Sony some kind of royalty. Sony may decide it doesn't want to try to compete with it. Far better to take money and be part owner of the new, single format. Who knows, it might have been an option all along.
