"Note that my post did not mention Buena Vista. I strictly mentioned Disney. Zombieflanders brought in Buena."
You should bone up on how things are run. Buena Vista Home Entertainment is the distributor for all titles from studios owned by Disney (including Disney Pictures, Touchstone, Miramax, and now Pixar)
"Also note that Iger never added a "dying" qualifer that too was added by zombieflanders. "
Iger is the CEO of Disney, Bob Chapek is the president of BVHE, and I assure you he is much more aware of and in control of the formats Disney will produce on. Here's the word straight from his mouth:
"...Buena Vista Home Entertainment on behalf of The Walt Disney Company is so bullish on the revolutionary technology of Blu-ray Disc. It is well positioned to be the future solution for packaged media, with its superior capacity and interactivity, copy-protection systems and market force superiority that is unrivaled. As we approach the launch of the high-definition era of our industry, I am very encouraged with how the Blu-ray Disc format will revolutionize the home entertainment world."
"Again. HD-DVD is going to pick up new studios. Universal will likely go Blu Ray in the future but they've been closed lipped and HD-DVD will be cheaper than Blu Ray in the short and long run (IMO)."
We've seen no evidence of this anywhere but in the players, and that's not a guaranteed advantage in the long run. Remember, they still only have one CE vendor with an announced player, compared to 4 from Blu-ray.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
