???

an S on the end of million implies more than 1 million. 3 is definitely
more than 1, no?

Then you have a different definition of plurality from the rest of us.

If you have 3 computers, do you say "I have three computer"?

I've heard now 500k, 750k, 800k, and 1.3 Billion(my personal favorite

I've HEARD all these numbers, but I've yet to see any source other than some
blog (and in most cases like the above, not even that).

At least with the MS buyout rumor (and it could very well be that) the $ was
consistent (500k) and the reports were coming from credible sites, if not
straight out of the months of spokesmen.

And so much more credible than Warner and New Line's OWN EXECS saying
"Two formats was confusing our consumers and slowing back sales."

And was also coming from the ACTUAL PEOPLE who'd gotten the money--
We wouldn't even have known the figure was $150M, if Jeffrey Katzenberg
hadn't sung like a stool-canary to the NYT.

What's so flat-out giggle-worthy about the "Sony bribe" theories, is the
puppy-dog desperation with which HD-DVD *wants* the other side to suffer
some terrible, humiliating crushing blow to their image too, and then
maybe customer sentiment will be magically equal again--
Even in the first weeks after the Bribe, the biggest HD defense was "Oh
yeah, well...Sony used to bribe people too!--What about all that money
the other companies took!"

....Methinks the fat lady doth protest too much.
