[quote N-OS X-tasy!]Just wait and see how many people find BR religion when prices drop to levels comparable to current prices for DVD players and media. With Sony in charge of the technology that will be in what, 20 years or so...?
With the exception of the PlayStation, Sony has lost every technology showdown it's been involved in since the advent of the CD in the early 80s, and it came damn close to losing this one too.. They've literally bet the company on BR and the PS3; you can be sure they've learned their lessons from past defeats. Pricing WILL come down on players and media -- there is (and will continue to be) too much competition in the CE market and from online content distribution for that not to happen.
