The BDA was formed and Toshiba broke way from it. They started the HD-DVD format (guess who gets the royaties) and it was rushed onto the market before Blu-Ray.

I thought thats basically what I said. Toshiba is the biggest scheister here. If they didn't decide to go do there own thing, and want all the money from the next-gen format, then the format war wouldn't exist, and toshiba would still have a piece of the loyalties pie, since they could have been part of BDA. In actuality Toshiba, and everyone else would probably have boat loads more money then they do now, if Toshiba would not have been dicks. No paying 150 million to studios for exclusivity. No BOGO deals, no selling players at losses. but no Toshiba has to be greedy *******s, and want everything to themselves, like they had DVD all to themselves. **** them.
