Why would they? What's the money sense to them? They won. They need to look at how to get people still buying regular DVDs to start buying BlueRay. People who buy HD-DVD are already up for buying into next-gen stuff.
No busines is going to trade HD-DVD for BR either, unless say... HMV want to shift a bunch of PS3s perhaps (hey, buy a PS3 and we'll trade in 3 of your HD-DVDs for BR versions free!). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Barber Sent: 22 February 2008 11:58 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] HD-DVD / Blu Ray I don't know if it would make good business sense, but wouldn't it be good if Sony came in right now and said 'hey all you HD-DVD deck buyers - come swap it for a blu-ray deck for free/subsidised price'. Could even swap it for a PS3, increasing game sales while they were at it. Don't think the people that bought a shiny new deck to sit under their TV would want a PS3 instead though.
