"Who cares?". Sony will still get money off of it, since they own part of it, and they would have to sell it to Microsoft.

I would smile in content, knowing that for every game or movie the '720' sold, Sony would get some of the profit, since they made the format. Pwned.

MS has said they'll support whichever format wins, so IDK, it's a possibility.

Its expected next gen. Sony is only one of many companies that made bluray, those other companies would get the majority of the profit. It wont stop ps3 from falling this gen.

Wasn't Microsoft working on their own competitor to Blu-Ray? I honestly doubt Microsoft would pay their competitor just to get more disc space that won't even be used.

Do you truly think that way or are you just messing around? Why would you care if MS had to pay Sony anything unless you actually owned Sony stock?! This really boggles my mind.

Anyways, didn't original Blu-Ray players require Microsoft's VC-1 codecs meaning that Sony was actually paying Microsoft for the ability to use their software. This might have changed since but I believe that was the case early on. Either way, who cares?!

I don't think it's all that sad. Sony gets more money, they can afford bigger contracts with good companies to get them more good games.

you honestly believe more space won't be needed for the nest gen of games.

then in that case you can have 3+ disc based games, plus blu-ray speed will pick up so you wont have to install every game. I guess everybody wins:D
