@Paul Fernandez Hi Paul, sorry to write nonsens in my sentence "They did promised the marketing promised the BDA a made."
I just wanted to say that BDA is doing a very prominent marketing and it is hard to really find out what is true and what is marketing. When BDA announced BD it mostly described the hugh features that will be possible. This might be one of the arguments to convince some studios to only support BD. But these features are still not possible although the cheaper and even more finally developped HD DVD format can do.
Yes BD-J will be great but are the advantages (especially for movie releases) such big that this excuses for the massive delay, different player features, optional ethernet, optional PiP, ...). This all will more than necessary confuse the consumers again. And - a really important point - the studios will pay much more for the replication of BD instead of BD also in the future. Is this worse the mininal additional potential features of BD-J ? Movie fans want to see the movie with some nice extras. If they want to play a game they will use their games consoles or PCs instead of playing boring BD-J games.
“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.”
