Where is the anti trust investigators when you need them?
Blu-Ray pays off some studios, kills the competition, and now consumers are paying higher prices because there is now no competition. That strikes me as a monopolistic practice (and result) if there ever was one. I'm sorry, consumers really took it up the a$$ this time. CEA should have stepped in before these formats were released to the public.
It's just as bad as HDCP and Component Video Constraint.... anything to confuse and screw the consumer! We need a Consumer Electronics body that represents us to stop this non sense, and represent consumer rights. DRM and format wars are ruining mass adoption of technology.
