I dont know why they dont just release the titles half HD-DVD, and half Blu-Ray and see which sells the best. This splitting titles is a farce, we get this they get that - everyone is losing out on something, same with the region codes aspect.
In the UK we dont have Knocked Up on blu, which i was disappointed with. Not to mention Bourne Ultimatum, Shrek The Third, and that robot changing thing.... Then the people who have HD-DVD dont get Spidey, Die Hard, etc.
The film companies should realise that at the end of the day, THEY are losing out on sales. How many blu-ray copies of Transformers or HD-DVD copies of POTC would they have shifted over the last month?
The only thing this might save is bare bones discs being released only for a SE to come out 12 months later like they did with DVD.
