What about all those memory stick things too, or their AMTRAC??? Music format for their media players etc...
If ever there was a company that didnt know when to quit it was these guys.
Saying that though - IF the PS3 is affordable and comes bundled with Blu-Ray as they say - i would'nt bet against it.
Im in the HD-DVD camp myself, if only because of the copy protection that comes bundled on Blu-Ray and i think it cheaper too (could be wrong there), but hey - in the long run - i'll be buying neither until it becomes obvious who's won.
