well, those who bought it shouldn't known better that they were taking a risk. the Blue-Ray vs HD war wasn't something new.

They took the gamble, too bad la now. Use it as your regular CD / DVD player or something.

anyway, Blue-Ray's victory IMO was mainly due to PS3, all PS3 buyer will have a BR player immediately. which helps it enter the market really fast.

I think PS3 sales might boost, now that BR has won the war. However that doesn't mean sales are gonna go up, since PS3 is probably the cheapest BR player available at the moment and with gaming features, whether they use it or not. So yeah, quite likely PS3 sales would be that because it's a player, not a game console.

Regardless, Sony still get the $$$.

Too bad, I don't think anyone will be "smart" enough to purchase a HD DVD player now which will go without any media support later.

hmmm, can the content of the Blue-Ray be copied over to HD-DVD? the disc might be incompatible, but what about the content?

there's a HD-DVD to Blu-Ray here: HD-DVD to Blu-Ray. Working Guide - Doom9's Forum
The steps seem rather complex and long, so I guess the content of each media are of different format

Why would you want to convert one to the other? You would already need both and that kinda defeats the purpose right?
