Speaking of NBC...Anyone notice the huge Casino Royale Blu-ray ad on their website? I've become hooked to Heroes, and am starting with the episodes from the beginning, but just noticed Blu-ray blatantly advertised in a rather large space.

My opinion is that they probably signed an agreement early on in the game, and have to wait until that agreement expires or simply you have Microsoft & Toshiba adding "incentives" to their loyalty, much like Microsoft's "incentives" to companies utilizing their Live Search engine.
