That above link is my post that Sony can make HD-DVD go away if they pay. A debated topic.
Apparently great minds think alike, or someone at Sony is reading my posts. :wink: When the consumer gets pissed at the format war, Sony merely has to hold up the white flag again and say, "we tried to make peace." Toshiba will be the bad guys.
On the other hand, if Sony handed them a sucky offer, I can't blame them. Sweeten the deal Sony. Buy it out! Offer the sun and the moon and give it! The future will be yours.
Ask them, "What can we do to change your minds?" Again I re-itterate, don't piss off the consumer in these unsure post 9/11 times. You understand the effects of 9/11, but if you learned nothing then you don't understand how fickle the consumer will be.
We will be glad to hold on to DVD just to spite you guys while you try to milk money out of early adopters who will eventually spite one of you when you loose the format war. "Mind share, gentlemen. Not just market share."
