This is a smear campaign by Sony. It all begun on a recent techy show.... Infact it was just this noon when I read an article regarding this high def format war... believe me, Toshiba gonna hit back hard on this, acording to the article their market capitalisation for high def players in europe is over 60%, not sure with USA or Japan. This war at the moment seems to be favor Sony as their new playstation 3 has been a major factor for increased blue ray movie sales... but in a counter move to flex their muscles, Toshiba too have cut down the unit price for players dramatically in order to woe customers.
