Could the BDA pick MS off?

[spicynacho]

Could the BDA offer microsoft a package like this... Drop HD DVD support and support blu ray and the BDA will do the following, encourage VC-1 encodes and provide you with discounted licensing fees so that you can have windows media player playback BR movies. On the HD DVD side have them cut-off the HD DVD AO drive which toshiba has already undercut them on, stop developing HDi, stop supporting encodes for HD DVD studios, and withdraw from the HD DVD PG. If needed, throw in some sony movies for XBL. They have already stopped caring about HD DVD. It shouldn't take much to have them publicly denounce it.
