Microsoft and Apple's digital download war

[partridge]

If they are then it's more MS money down the pan. With netflix and best buy supporting blu-ray in the 'States and blu-ray a clear winner throughout Europe I cannot see the format war lasting much longer.

Universal and Paramount have to see sense fairly soon; they aren't big enough to reverse the decisions being made by other studios and now by retail. They will sign up to blu in the near future and that will be that. Toshiba and MS will be on their own with a dead format that no one wants or supports.
