Studios fight to save DVD

Alan

this article makes little to no sense. the only thing that is a threat to them is piracy, which blu-ray helps protect.

why would studios, who support blu-ray and the higher margins that come with blu-ray, want to save the low-margin, market sagging DVD?

Exactly Sock, unless they don't have confidence in Blu right now? I don't get it either. Its like trying to save a dying car which needs to have more money put into it than its worth when you have a brand new Mercedes at your disposal. I don't get it.

It's really the catalog titles that are slowing down, which is mentioned briefly. Most of the newer movies do well, so the big question will be, will people double dip for some of the old movies/catalog in Bluray? I think certain titles will do well but I think for the most part, J6P will not spend too much on older titles.
