What were Toshiba and Microsoft thinking? Even Sony’s Betamax lasted longer than this advanced video and computer format. While arguably as good or better than Blu-ray DVD, how could these companies stick the public with a system that was almost dead from the start and for $400 to $600, too. Reportedly Microsoft bullied its way with some of the CE makers who agreed to the format, but never signed up enough movie companies and released the format hoping that computer companies would help force the issue. Is there going to be a giant rebate…I don’t think so.
