Re: DVD Consortium Charges
Posted By: Mark Levin <haveblue@mac.com>Date: 5/23/02 2:15 a.m.

In Response To: Re: DVD Consortium Charges (Narcogen)

: No, I'm not being obtuse, I'm just using the rules of English grammar to
: parse your sentence, and it doesn't necessarily say what you intended:

Allow me to quote Terry Pratchett: "Logic is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't always beat actual thought." ;P

: I don't know what the fee itself is, and AFAIK it hasn't been mentioned in
: the thread; however, I'd speculate it is less (perhaps significantly less)
: than $30

However, it couldn't be so low that MS could have eaten the cost per unit. The remote and sensor are commodities in the industry, and the packaging costs are dwarfed by the rest of the Xbox packaging/marketing effort. I'd guess the license fee is at least $20.
