Should be an interesting stouch between the two formats now over the next 12mths. HD-DVD players starting at $499, id expect the other format to start matching prices for players. Their not far off that now from memory.

sony just sold their processor to toshiba, and sony is in serious financial trouble over the ps3, if the blu-ray loses out i can see them dropping the whole thing together and going with the hd-dvd.

LG released their dual format overseas, and it was a flop, played blu ray, but hd dvd side was dodgy, Samsung released their BDP1000 which was apparently more reliable. Be interesting when these dual format players hit here and are affordable.

And speaking of their Bravia LCD tv line, why the hell do the need 5 models ( in the same screen sizes) to choose from? I would have thought 2 or maybe 3 would suffice?

I'm not sure about the Sony brandname itself, but the PS3 division is in the red

Game consoles ALWAYS start in the red, for years usually. I think from memory that the Wii is the ONLY console to make a profit out of the box. PS3's , 360's etc all make a loss from the console, its the games that make the $ |
