A death of Sony's UMD. One we can all be happy about..if it were not a slow, painful, death.

So, Toshiba has braved it. We now have next generation optical disc players...well maybe you do, I can't even afford most of the current ones. So, we now have a new phase in the war. May the stronger win!

Why does Sony have so many problems? Did they hire a bunch of evangelists from Microsoft? Why would I pay for $20 + for the dvd of a sad movie, that I may or may not watch, and cannot even play on my television.

We live in the world of pay - per - view, cher Sony... there is more to understanding customers than installing rootkits. May the stupid perish!!
