An idiot whose prediction is that Blu-ray will lose.

I don't condone violence in any context, so no, if someone hit me I wouldn't fight back..what would that prove/accomplish? Similarly, it's a logical fallacy to say that offense is more likely to win in Chess than defense.

That aside, I get what you're saying. If Sony wants to come up with some kind of incentive to combat this(a cheaper BluRay player or something), that's cool. But I completely disagree with the notion that Toshiba/MS played dirty, so now BluRay should as well. Two wrongs don't make a right.

On an unrelated note, it's always stuck me as odd that Toshiba and MS, both companies which release products that are typically low quality, are spearheading HDDVD, and no one has a problem with this. Compared to Sony whom, in fairness, is typically more expensive than it's competitors, but the product quality is always better at the same time. And in the case of the PS3, it is the *best* high definition player available period, and is less expensive than other high-end HDDVD or BluRay players.
