I agree completely. I think that they might be looking at sales but my stronger believe is production problems as well, but let's not fool ourselves, they do look at sales too. It's either incompatibilities with players or replication. Either way, Criterion will press considerably less copies then for example Iron-Man so they might be last on the list for replication considering that even today 2 years into Blu-Ray's lifespan I believe we have only a few real replication factories that offer those services like Sony DADC or one more big place (I think they have 8 or something like that in total).
It's really a disgrace that years into the format's life replication is so poorly organized and something that obviously was the problem for Blu-Ray from day one on a massive scale or with multiple clients.
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.
