with sony being picked for cd/dvd/blueray 'standard', they should know
how to make an inexpensive drive.

for sure they have recovered their experimenting cost by now and can
afford to build and sell drives for what they are actually worth.

the big 'screw the public' was that they had designs for dvd and double
layer before they ever released first cd drive. reason for waiting was
to recover cost by putting out cd drives and making more money.

why should they worry about something that is mainly a problem with old
drives which will end up bad and replaced before they can end up solving?
