Nor did I intend to. HD downloads can take off later as well and make it tough for Blu-ray.

Wow that was the only advantage you saw in having one standard? How about being able to lend movies and having movies play on different brand name devices.

I thought the article referred to having one standard, either Blu-ray or downloads. Having reread it, I see that it was among various download options. But in that case, it's advantageous for Blu-ray to have it split up into various standards, so as to maximize confusion and minimize the threat, wouldn't it? So reason 2, the way it's written, is a little confusing. I would agree that download options should be as standardized as possible, but I don't know how much of a negative effect it would cause as far as overall success.

And the competition? obviously no one is waiting for the price of Apple TV to go down.

I meant 'duh' in that it's obvious the price of players will go down. It's not like there's any revelation here

Yup but like you said they didnt 'sacrifice' their gaming franchise for it.
|
That remains to be seen. Where would the PS3 be today, if it launched a year earlier and $200 cheaper? At the very least, Sony sacrificed 1st place in HD gaming to Microsoft and the lost revenue that entails (will it be more than the gains from Blu-ray?
)

Seemed pretty reasonable, but I guess you still got that grudge against CNET for the whole XDE debacle.

Gawd, you mean CNet wrote this piece of crap?
