So go ahead and discuss that!
If it means that the DVDs already produced and sitting on shelves will have the prices stripped, that'd be good for me. It's outrageous that the Casanova DVD is still selling for $18.
>How the hell could SONY win a format war? They're the jackasses that gave us BetaMax, MiniDisc, UMDs, these obnoxious Memory Stick Pro Duo cards, and ATRAC for Christsakes.
They did release the Sony Playstation 1, 2, and 3, though. And they've done good TVs, VCRs, and DVD players also. So they apparently can't go wrong all the time. :-)
