Also, if you checked your facts, dummy, you'd know that Time Warner is a split content provider between formats. In other words, stupid, they have just as much at stake with Blu ray as they do with HD DVD. The only exclusive HD DVD studio is Universal. So lo and behold, you were spamming inaccurate facts. That's certainly not a bias in itself, is it, by spreading misinformation?

If you think this website is some big conspiracy (and you already gained tinfoil hat points by deriving corporate ownership = omg bias, as well as calling people "sheep". Yes, because people believe differently in what you do, they're sheep. Wake me when you get out of your high-school level debate skills, champ), then go somewhere else. I mean, if you're right, that this is all one massive conspiracy, then surely you can't beat "THE MAN" that runs this, right? So why waste your time? GO! GO! For the good of the people! Save us from the internet, oh greasy and tinfoil hatted one!

"(More of a sneak-peak, really. Its hard to call the introduction of a new product a 'launch' if nobody is actually able to purchase said product - even in M$' own backyard!!!! ) "

They all sold to someone. Its unfortunate that some decided to be greedy and sell to turn a few hundred dollar profit, but they still bought it same as everyone else. It sold out, and demand outstripped supply. It happens every holiday with something.

Sony is being condemned right now because everything about this launch seems to indicate they have no idea what they're doing. Say what you will about the faults of Microsoft's (which, you sure proved how smart you were by replacing the S with a dollar sign. Corporations earn money, deal with it or just keep raging against the machine MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!) global launch, but they at least succeeded in launching in all 3 territories. The same can now no longer be said about PS3.

I am so glad all the people going "HAW HAW WHO CARES BOUT RASSLIN GAMES THEIR GAY N STUFF FOR GAY REDNEX" are just internet retards and not actually in a marketing or business position in the industry. You may not find this a big deal, but I guarantee someone at Sony just lost 3 weeks of sleep over this. Exclusivity = potential system sales. That's not something Sony wants when they're launching a brand new console.
