Why Microsoft Hates Blu-ray

Posted by Zonk on from the daggers-drawn dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The private feud just became public. Apparently, Gates yelled at Sony's CEO because the new copy protection Blu-ray has adopted would prevent players from streaming content to the Xbox 360. Since the PS3 will have Blu-ray support but the Xbox 360 only has a plain DVD drive, this means PS3 will be the only console that can play HD movies. Also, Paramount just announced support for Blu-ray and Warner Brothers may also jump ship. Will VHS vs. Betamax turn out differently this time?"

    Jump ship generally implies that you are fleeing a situation.

    Perhaps you mean that Warner Bros. jumped onto the Blu-Ray bandwagon.
