HD-DVD was cheaper to manufacture at any DVD stamping plant. BluRay cost more and only came from Sony. But Sony paid WarnerBros $250M. That's why WB had the free HD-DVD to BkuRay exchange program: SONY paid for the dew disks:

(BTW, VHS had slightly lesser image quality that Neta but it had a longer recording time, it was cheaper, and it came from multiple vendors while BETA couldn't always record a full movie from cable or two episodes and only came from Sony.)
