Well, that is likely the cold hard fact.
Instead of wanting a mass adoption that will drive margins down toward (I'm sure they are desperately hoping against TO) DVD levels, wouldn't it be in their best interests to cultivate a market willing to pay a permanent premium?
So, make DVD basic and boring, and put ALL the extras (in HD) on BD at a nice premium. It won't lead to mass adoption, but if this is the LAST chance why blow it all?
People are all pushing for $200 players and $10-$15 discs, but what happens to the studios after this generation?
