Desparate? No. But we all should strive to avoid MS controlling distribution of HD films

Sony consistently brings quality products and formats to market so, no, I don't have a problem with it. Just as consistently, Sony loses out because of ingorant consumers and questionable business practices of competitors.

It's not just about Paramount. If MS had their way, they'd control other studios too. You support that?

Sony deserves to be financially rewarded and to receive certain exclusive rights, just as any company bringing a useful technology to market deserves the same. Otherwise, where is the incentive for R&D? You want a marketplace where the richest bully can come along and dictate business practices in things like HD movie distribution, or do you want a marketplace where the consumer can choose and help the best technology win?
