The studio situation will kill HD...Laser was killed because only videophiles bought into it.

I believe all that and saw just how well LD did not do. However, the one thing I have noticed is the MASSIVE amount of movies LD had available. I am talking titles that were released not too long ago too.

It just amazes me that for a format that pretty much bombed, it had A LOT of movies you could buy for it. Why did they release so many if it was not so widely adopted?
