etc, etc, etc.

But Feltheimer seems to be calling for a swift resolution to the format war so that people can buy in confidence. To that end, Lionsgate is doing BD only for the various reasons he lists. Going neutral would only confuse consumers further and prolong the format war-- things Feltheimer does not want to see happen.
