Dumb question: If Blu-Ray players are so great, and if they can play VC-1 and play old DVDs, what's stopping Blu-Ray players from playing these? Constantly evolving spec, new changes just a firmware upgrade away...what's the holdup, guys? Or is it possible, and y'all are just getting desperate for anti-HD DVD fodder for the continuing hatchet job? Or is it not possible at all, and boo hoo, if this were to take off, it might put a nick in Blu-Ray's armor? Or is it just that Blu already has a similar-yet-incompatible format and NIH (Not Invented Here) Syndrome is in play?
