Universal Goes Non-Combo

[HDTV1080P]

This is good news for HD-DVD owners. They will be able to purchase HD-DVD discs at a cost of $5 cheaper since combo discs appear to be getting phased out by Universal.
The other thing I like about this is Universal and the movie industry will now be able to see how many true HDTV owners are purchasing discs. The problem with combo’s is some consumers that only own DVD players were purchasing combo discs and making it appear the HD-DVD format was more popular then it really is.
Some uneducated consumers sometimes purchase HD-DVD discs and think that they will get HDTV quality in there standard DVD player. ** Retail Stores are most likely going to see people try and return a HD-DVD disc now with comments like “It would not play in my DVD player, it should have since it says the words DVD on it.”.
BLU-RAY has less a problem with this since no where on the package does it say the words “DVD”. BLU-RAY equals less consumer confusion.
