TrentD: I've seen this topic come up before and as noticable as it seems when there is confusion to the consumer (check reader reviews) I don't think it's a huge marginal human error to be recorded.
Even though Amazon puts out the warning, remember the non-savvy consumers are inclined to want HD, they figure they got the HDTV, an upscaling DVD player, and since 3/5th's the acroynm is covered, they buy them without thinking. It's kind of funny in a way.
What I'm getting at is, you can't rule this out, it still happens regardless of all warning signs, but I dont think it's that big of a deal.
I've seen the comments before (Planet Earth is one good example). However, if somebody puts biodiesel in their unleaded-only car, I don't think it's Biodiesel's fault for not educating that consumer.
However, those mistakes show that the average consumer has no idea that HD DVD or Blu-ray exists.
