: @squiggleslash, you can churn out as many hypothetical scenarios as you like but it's up to Disney, Fox, Warner to decide if they want combo discs
Well, gee, do you think? And there was I thinking that I could wave a magic wand and force them to do what's necessary to make Blu-ray viable.
Seriously, what kind of an answer is that to my post? How does that in any way address the issues it raises? "X has fault Y" "Oh yeah, well it's up to Z to fix it, not you". Really?
It absolutely astonishes me that Blu-ray enthusiasts are not interested in addressing the issues with their format. Somehow you all believe it's going to succeed, regardless of how many faults it has. You're not interested in making it better than DVD (except in definition), you're not interested in making it work in people's existing infrastructure, you all seem to believe that people will blindly just drop DVD and switch to Blu-ray.
They're not going to. It's up to Warner, Disney, et al to fix it. It's up to consumers to want it.
Consumers don't want it, and will not until it's actually beneficial to them.
