I'll shut up now, but i thought with Blurays prices and the studios and manufacturers keeness to promote the technology, they'd stop stabbing us all in the back...... again

I would like to think I could believe the studios when they give us poor excuses instead of performance, but I can not. The consumers are expecting a golden blu-ray experience are are getting "golden showers" instead!

If you want to make this a pissing match you can always boycott the movie title. But I firmly believe boycotting doesn't punish the studio, it punishes me. I am a big Terminator fan and have yet to buy the blu-rays because they are of questionable quality. I am waiting for the hopefull re-release next fall after the new movie.

Disney delivers the goods with PQ and AQ the FIRST time around. But then, you have to wait for it to come out of the vault every 7 years as you can't just pick it up at any time.

The other studios will jerk around the consumer as much as possible. I recall a quote from an article in an AD dating back up to 10 years. The reporter asked an HP rep how they determine what prices to charge for toner for their printers. The HP rep merely laughed in response, "OH, we just charge what the market can bear."

Much as "A rose is a rose is a rose." Business is business, is business.
