"Um, mlody11, one major flaw with your Warner argument. Warner started exclusive to HD DVD..."
I don't see how that affects anything in my argument. I did not say, Warner should have gone HD DVD exclusive... I am saying they should have stayed neutral and let the formats kill each other, the result would be the same as it is, execept the price war would rage on. I am not implying "No more BOGOS!" or "BD player price will now rise!"... I am stating that the pressure is less and now there is less reason to push hard on the price.
Whatever the reason for waiting, most of us do not want an incomplete player. If a company released a car and said, well it drives, has brakes and has a roof but we didn't have time to paint it or add a radio to it. Would you buy it even though it has 250 hp vs a car that looks nice and shiny and has 200 hp? I'm not implying HD DVD is better, but to many consumers it is said to be "complete" and "ready."
