To say that Toshiba is bitter and bucking potential profits is a little ignorant. Toshiba wants to make as much money as possible. They are making it now with DVD and tried to with HD DVD. Since that didn't work, they are looking to go back to DVD in a different sort of way. To pay sony a bunch of licensing fees when they already have a movie format is not a good business decision. For anyone to say that they should, well, I sure hope you don't run a business.
The only way this would make sense is if blue was the only movie delivery medium. Which it isn't. Now which logic were you speaking of? Please don't state things that you believe are correct as fact.
And to say no one would buy super upconversion is again an ignorant statement. To give consumers the ability to view their current, rather large movie collections in a manner so far not yet achieved, is intriguing. Not only would Toshiba extend dvds long life, but they would receive additional capital licensing out their upconversion technology. This seems to be a very wise decision on their part. You need to put the blue koolaid down and step out into the sunshine. You need some perspective.
