HD-DVDs can be manufactured on the same equipment as a standard DVD, with some relativly minor modifications. Blu-Ray requires all new production equipment. The difference in capital outlay is thousands of dollars vs. millions of dollars. And seeing as how Sony is having trouble making Multi-layered disks even in a lab environment after ten years of development, the final costs to a manufacturer can't even be guessed at yet.

Sony announced it won't do 1080p.
Circuit City, looking for a new car stereo, and I checked the prices of HDMI cables because I thought the person who said they cost about $4 was guessing a little low. The cheapest cable either place had was a 4 footer for $69.
Some of the 6 footers ran as high as $149.
Enjoy guys, that certainly isn't small chang3.
run a 12 to 18 month cycle for series games; that puts Forza 3 between November 07 and May 08 (Forza 2 is right on the 18 month cycle). GT5 is due in late 07, right at beginning of the Forza 3 window.
GT5 will be competing with Forza 3, not Forza 2.
about which game is superior; he's never played Forza.
for Test Drive Unlimited and Forza 2 a couple of days ago. EB gave me a Forza release date of 2 November.
out sell Blu-Ray 4-3?
the contractual obligations to provide those diodes to the manufacturers who can't get their products to market. How many lawsuits for breach of contract can Sony handle?
giving the world another example of what happens when you try to re-invent the wheel. HD-DVDs can be manufactured on the same equipment that makes standard DVDs using media almost identical to DVD media and can, in fact, have an HD-DVD on one side and a standard DVD on the other. When combined with being encoded at the lauded 1080p bit rate, and being cheaper for both hardware and media, there is precisly zero reason for anyone to be lusting after Blu-Ray.
I mean really, if ...
Geez, with all the crap they put in, they used 802.11g instead of 802.11n? And they expect it to last 10 years?
and has been up on the site and discussed all day. Do you guys ever read, or even check whats already posted?
will look just as good as the 360's and PS3's on 80% of the public's tvs.
don't buy any Sony products. I don't own anything made by Sony, and the only thing I've had go bad in over ten years was a Maxell harddrive, which was still under manufacturer's warranty.

get your folks to re-enrole you in 1st grade, 'cause you sure didn't learn to communicate when you were there the first time.
