  24. Re:hoping to avoid unbearable noise on Blu-ray's Hardware Woes Stacking Up · · Score: 1

    All was looking just fine for Nintendo until it found that the deal they had struck with Sony way back in 1988 granted Sony the right to control and license all the CD-based games for the "Super Disc". Nintendo was now to be at the mercy of Sony and its "Super Disc", which could play SNES carts and Sony-manufactured CDs. Nintendo, understandably, began to get worried.

  25. Re:hoping to avoid unbearable noise on Blu-ray's Hardware Woes Stacking Up · · Score: 1

    Why did they drop the relationship with Sony. Sony wanted complete creative control over every game and the majority of the market. Nintendo then went to some one else and then released a cd-add on. And Nintendo's censorship is nothing like Sony's decision to not allow ANY 2d games (http://games.slashdot.org/~sesshomaru/journal/141 144)
