If the BDA were to offer a $300 credit towards a BD player, for instance, it would go a long way to gaining the loyalty and good-will of consumers who have ALREADY DEMONSTRATED they are HD DISC COLLECTORS.
That $300 will come back 100 fold over the next 5-10 years. I think it's important to help smooth the obvious frustration HD DVD consumers must be feeling right now, and make the transition to blu as painless as possible. These folks have invested $$$ in HD DVD and now is not the time to ignore their feelings after closing the lid on their format.

Might want to put down whatever your smoking or drinking and think about what you just said. Why on earth would ANY company do this? Please explain this to me. So, you go buy a computer and 3 months later it is out dated and replaced by a new model. Same with a car, you buy a new one, it is out dated because a new model is put out that looks different. You want a credit from them too? Feel jipped? Upset? Yeah well - it happens every day with people.
Thankfully the world is FULL of INFORMATION that can be had with a little research. Most people can find out what is coming out next, what might be happening and the like. It was CLEAR from the begining that HD-DVD was headed down hill. Everyone knew what the better format was.
EVERYONE knew that this was NEW TECHNOLOGY and with that fact - they knew they were TAKING A CHANCE that one day - one of them would be null and void.
So, now - you want someone else to pay you because you made the wrong choice? It's Warners fault that they are no longer going to support HD-DVD and you are upset and want money to go to the right format?? So tell me again - did your player stop working? Did your movies self detonate and destroy themselves so you can no longer watch them?
Nope. Still there. Just a studio is NO LONGER supporting that format - a fact that EVERYONE knew could and would happen eventually. Did you hear of ANY Blu-Ray supporter asking that Toshiba pay them because Para***** went red? Nope.
So, please - don't start another thread. It would be unecessary.
