Drone_Fragger posted:Only reason blu-ray even did was becuase sony spent literally billions of dollars essentially bribing companies to use blu-ray, and then selling the PS3 at like a 500 dollar loss so that they could ensure everyone who had a PS3 would be buying blu-rays. Only Sony could be so devious!  I mean, seriously?

mrkillboy posted:Back in the early-1990s I used to read a lot of imported British console magazines like Super Play and CVG (I live in Australia) and one thing that really really stuck out for me in the letters sections was that they'd always harp about how you couldn't rent out games in the UK and that it was illegal or forbidden or something. Also Nintendo apparently had something to do with it as well? I'm probably remembering incorrectly, but I seem to remember that some kind of annual fee was introduced (something like £1,000) for rental stores to rent out video games, which inevitably led to many smaller stores stopping it due to prohibitive costs. The fee was universal, so the size of the business wasn't considered.
