We all knew that it happened, but the news is out. The official price tag for the "incentive" for Warner Brothers to go Blu-Ray exclusive??? $400 million USD! And that is just one of the studios that they paid off...
I still don't see how they can ever make up the amount of money that they "invested" and are still loosing on the sale of every Blu-Ray device.
They should have just paid all of us here $400 million (that we could split amongst ourselves) and we could have just told the world to go Blu-Ray. At least then I could afford a player that has everything that Blu-Ray has been promising and won't have future compatability issues once they finally come out. Of course, then again, Toshiba paid Paramount an unconfirmed $250 million and will have nothing to show for it pretty soon.
