I’m wondering how hard it will be to turn their HD-DVD player production lines into Blu-Ray ones. From what I understand, they use the same type of lasers (if not the same models).
(BTW, I smell collusion)

Well, I’d like to get one but I’m still waiting for the $$$ to go down.
I was thinking, now that HD-DVD is gone, Blu-Ray doesn’t have competition anymore (at least in the home theater department), so there no reason for them to drop prices. Thankfully, it still has plenty of competition in the video game department. Maybe, thanks to this deal, PS3s will go down in price again this year? It’s sure make buying the system a lot more feasible. As it is now, I’ve no real reason to get one. I don’t have an HDTV, so hi-def stuff is wasted on my setup. As for videogames, my PS2 and Xbox 360 are quite sufficient. I’ll be missing out on Metal Gear Solid 4, for now anyway, but I’d probably have waited for the inevitable special edition anyway...
