Do these corporations own those formats, or are they just part of a bigger picture? My brother refuses to buy any blu ray discs because he thinks it would be supporting Sony, specifically.

I don't think Sony created Blu-Ray, I think it was another company. Sony is just marketing it the product. M$ definitely didn't create HD-DVD. I'm sure someone will chime in with all the right answers and some links.

Why would your brother buy a Blu-ray obviously he doesn't own aPS3?SoWhat would he play a BD movie on, if he bought one?

We own a ps3. We own everything. But he wont buy the games or any movies for ps3....he will only buy hd-dvds and 360 games.

That's really pathetic.
you know when someone supports a sport team or something along those lines i can understand it, but that is just the dumbest thing ive ever heard
sony does own blu ray...they never created it but they bought it out so its theirs...........and no..microsoft doesnt own hd dvd...its jsut one of very big supporters of that format
Sony makes money off of blu-ray sales. Microsoft does not make money off of HD-DVD sales.Ninja-Vox
Yep - this is the main difference. Sony has an enormous potential income in the future if blu-ray becomes a major hit. If HD-DVD fails or succeeds has no impact on Microsoft whatsoever.
If Sony didn't have an economic interest in blu-ray they would no doubt have dropped it from the PS3 and launched a lot earlier - and more important: at a much lower price.
