I read somewhere in the news yesterday that Sony sold Blu-Ray factories to Toshiba.

Also that the DVD format wars caused both parties a lot of funds.

Anyway, hopefully BluRay will be standardized soon enough. Frankly, I don't even mind the quality of the old DVD9, as I still watch them on my old 39 inch CRT TV and my 19inch LCD monitor which will be 22-24inch LCD monitor 2009 or 2010.

Cheers
