They'll have to rewrite the rules about players coming out after Oct. 31. That's a PR nightmare. Do you think the BDA would admit that they cannot do what HD DVD has done since inception?
Disney wants the features, and has already claimed Snow White will come out late in '08 as 1.1. Its going to be *ahem* interesting when people pop it into their 1.0 machines expecting lots of interactive goodies for the kids.
Interesting times ahead. :-)
I've stopped buying BDs for the time being.

Releasing the Jack Ryan HD DVDs without material advertised on the box and promoted in previous announcements...now that doesn't look good.
You mention a hypothetical PR nightmare. Well, this is a real one. And yet the problem with this HD DVD box doesn't bother you at all. Interesting.
