Why?! Why "good riddance"? Because of the possibility that it might convince someone to stay with a player format of which you don't approve? If this disc made choosing the format a moot topic, then only the players would help to decide the winner of this pathetic format war instead of having studio exclusivity prolong it.
The only real negative that I could see to this is a higher price than either format by thenselves. But considering that it would have been 1/2 the packaging and 1/2 the shelf space when compared to separate releases, I would think that stores would have much preferred this version to go through.
You sound completely like some kind of fanboy who's more concerned that this dual-format disc might have led to his precious format becoming the loser faster than it could happen now, although admittedly I don't see a winner coming of this any time soon. Personally, I wish you fanboys (on both sides) would just shut the hell up.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
And good riddance!
