It also does not mean that you are neccesarilly losing your shirts. If Sony says that they are intending to return to profitability in the fiscal year ending in March '09 then that is happening right now. Their fiscal year starts on April 1 (not a joke) and ends the following March. So that...

Oh gee, lets see: LCD HDTV Sales Leaders in North America You think being number two that you are not making money? Not a business man are you? And by the way, have you read Sony's balance sheet? SONY CORPORATION Kudos to Allargon for this one. Diogen, explain how does one...

Why are you guys discussing the dead? And Diogen, I am very happy to give you a target for your misleeding bs. Reading your rants and comebacks really does bring a smile to my face. You must live too close to the North Pole as your brain seems to lack the ablility to move on.:) All of you...

And right now June 29th, Sony is pretty much breaking even on the PS3. Can you prove me wrong? I don't think so. Also, can you show where I said that Sony did not lose money on the PS3 in 2006, 2007? Sony has said all along that they are looking to 2009 to start making money on the PS3...

Diogen, I would like to shoot a few holes in your cost theory -- if you will allow -- First, Sony not only owns movie studios (that is more then one for those that are counting) but they also own multiple gaming studios (once again, more then one for those that are counting). Sony leveraged...

Uh, Vurbano -- you got a mirror there boy? Maybe you should look into it?:rolleyes:

Wow, you guys sure do know how to dress up a dance -- and still we are fussing about false sales numbers and overstated numbers by both sides over what? And Vurbano, come on, the mods stated time and time again that the posting needed to go into the WZ. Should the mods start spelling out...

Guys -- I think we have a true HD-DVD Fanboy really hurting hear!;)

You wear blinders don't you? Nothing delusional about the fact that there was not a lossless audio codec on the HD-DVD version of Transformers because there was not enough bandwith-- could easily of been added to BD though. Right before the plug was pulled on HD-DVD we began to see extras...

Has the extra space and bandwith has panned out for the consumer? There are HD extras on some of the discs now and there are more discs with dual lossless codecs (some in two differant languages) and these are due to the space and the bandwith. So to answer your question -- YES. ps Had to...

:up

I did and that was my point at the end of my post: 'there is no government requirement that it be made availiable to us. ' There are way to many important infrastructure problems to move the internet up the food chain. States are scrambling to inspect and repair bridges after the...

Is not their infrastructure alot newer then ours? Are their countries not alot smaller then ours? Are their populations alot smaller then ours? Seems like an apple to oranges comparison here Diogen?

Who Cares? So what if Toshiba paid Paramount and Dreamworks. This is not only old news, but it is also dead news. It affects nothing in business circles other then give the studios that were able to get payouts for either camp some money during a time when they needed a boost. Guys...

There is a big differance between Sony and Toshiba -- Sony could make the money back some loss on games (and they did) and Sony could make money on movies (they own a studio and Toshiba owned none). Add in the fact that there were no other CE manufactureres of HD-DVD product except for the...

Actually, if there is no money in it for the CE manufacturers, for the studios, for the retailers then you would not have any product to buy - if you wanted to or not. I guess none of you work for yourselves. You all probably work for your paycheck that does not come out of your own sweat...

Hey I will bite -- anyone out there drive a Cadillac? Reason I meantion that is that my wife drives a 2006 Toyota Avalon Limited. She wants a Cadillac! Gesh, $50,000 of eye candy that can not hold a candle to the Avalon she currently drives. The Avalon is bigger, gets better milage, will run...

There is enough business out there for HDM on the internet to be profitable. The question of when the internet becomes fast enough for folks other then fringe users to purchase and use HDM from the net is the real question. I too believe that it is going to happen but I don't see any...

Very interesting article Diogen. The question begs, just how much speed does one need to enjoy the internet. I have 1.5 and find that for the way I use the internet it works fine. Others, like yourself are looking to Broadband for HDM downloading and use. Maybe both of us can have our cake...

I think the Chinese are well capable of back-engineering a BD player and putting one on the market. I believe that the PS3 is being manufactured in China now and that gives them access to a BD product. There might even be other manufacturers who are have the Chinese manufacture their BD...

Diogen, what part of quality control on any manufactured product in China do you work with? My company does warranty for 37 manufacturers of product and every one of them has gone to China to save money on manufacturing. And everyone of them has seen their warranty repairs double, triple even...

I think the problem here is the PS3 and its numbers. First off, it is a game console and many folks purchased it for playing games. However, I purchased it to play BD movies and I now own over 130 BD movies. Second, Sony's idea was to make this a media box and as that they have done a...

Diogen, maybe BD is doing well at the year and 1/2 mark when compared with the same time frame of DVD from its release to the consumer? I know that DVD drives were very expensive the first 4 years the product was on the market and most of the titles were in the high $20's when released so maybe...

WOW, those are some killer titles!:rolleyes: Look, I just get tired of bozos jacking Sony up for doing nothing more then what M$ is doing with XBOXLive. They are both playing leapfrog to find ways to make money off their online services. Providing a service for pay does not immediately...

I wonder how many folks have a title on VHS, then purchased Laser Disc, the DVD version, the special DVD version, the enhanced DVD version then purchased HD-DVD or BD of the same title? While I have over 140 BD titles only about 35 are of DVD titles that I currently own. I have been...
