RE: proprietary formats

>>>Blu-ray is not a Sony proprietary format.<<<
For all practical purposes it is. Yes, there are other companies in the BDA, but it really is a Sony baby.
It is Sony that is selling a game consiole that is undercutting all other companies's stand alone players.
It is Sony who is subsidizing the sale of PS3s (see above)
It is Sony who is waiving replication fees(for major studios) of the discs
It is Sony who is controling the production, at least at the moment, of BD-50s.
It is Sony who is putting out the majority of BD exclusive titles.
It is Sony who is keeping BD alive.
Yes, there are other companies in the BDA, but they really don't count all that much.
