Sony, they are nothing more than a backstreet wannabe eletronics corporation :wink:

Can you believe they once tried to launch a console called the "PlayStation". Everyone knew it would never take off.

Who ever bothered with SACD ? Minidisc wasn't that big of succes either..... :wink:

IT IS becomming a trench war though......

Both Blue ray and HvD have some hefty backing.....

Blue ray recorders BTW, are already for sale in japan......

3do

They all fell on their faces on one occasion or another....

3do wasn't a format silly

Like them or lump them panasonic practically created the home VHS market AND the DVD market, some of the first players / recorders for both. They have very, very clearer technicians

Hence, watch panasonic.

I'm not saying buy they're stuff, I'm just saying, they tend to back the correct format for media.

I am with you Spud, I think they do carry more weight than ppl realise. As for Sony, they have had a few blunders, minidisk is just shit, tho the WalkMan was cool, last century :wink:

I reckon Minidisc would have taken off if it weren't for the timing, it lost out to CD-R. It was Minidisc that made me realise it would be a good idea to replace my shitty old tape collection.

Not too sure about that. Minidisc would have taken off if sony hadn't patented it so vigorously.

Propreity formats like minidiscs aren't such a smart idea.
