Sony invented the CD and DVD( and other companies here) with Phillips, the reason why other companies have payed royalties for using these formats and why Nintendo payed Sony to make a CD drive for their console.

And sorry about the radio but I was writing it in a hurry and out of my memory.

I was supposed to write the worlds first pocket transistor radio. :)

I bet it was poorly built.

3.5 became the standard and it held more data.

Are you saying that the jump from CD to DVD was hardly an accomplishment? Because the jump from 8 to 3.5 with extra storage space is just as big.

For God's sake, the 3.5 is still included in PCs you buy today, where's the 8inch drive?.

The walkman was a stole believe it or not, I know what im talking about.EMH88

From who did Sony take the idea? :) 

[QUOTE="EMH88"]The walkman was a stole believe it or not, I know what im talking about.TE_Lawrence

From who did Sony take the idea? :) 

I mean just because some people used headsets with pocket radios( which were invented by Sony) you can't really call them inventors of the walkman.

Sony thought of the concept and took the risk it was to mass produce the walkman, plus Sony had enough belief in it to take the patent.

The true story is that Sony and Phillip's MMCD was competing with Toshiba, **** and Time Warner's SD but they were forced to join and create the DVD which assembles MMCD much more than the SD.

DVD became an industry standard and to produce DVD players, one needs to license a range of patents, owned by different companies. A number of th key companies Philips, Sony, **** and Toshiba decided to license the necessary patents through one licensing agent and Philips was elected to take up the administrative role.

Do you really think that Sony would have used DVD in PS2 when it supported another format? No.

Sony co-invented the DVD, just do a google on it, the DVD wasn't invented by one company just like the BD isn't.

also i heard they kinda f***ed the DVD format up by adding somethong to the design to make it tougher but the side effect gave it less disc capacity it was originally supposed to hold 5GBs which kinda suck i guess that happens when oppusing sides make comprimises

Well one thing was for sure, Sony wouldn't risk another Betamax and opted to play it safe.

I guess that the lack of Movie studio support at the Betamax era is what made Sony realise that they needed a foothold in the entertainment industry to ensure backing of its future formats.
