In Reply to: Triple Releases Cannot Be Cost Effective posted by Robertc88 on October 2, 2007 at 05:58:27:
Studios have no problem releasing DVDs in both Full screen and wide screen, and yes, they still do that. The replication cost of HD DVD is about the same as DVD, that's one of its advantages, so they don't have to sell that many, to be profitable. BD is more expensive to make, but is being subsidized at the moment.
There's no question that the real money is in DVD, and will continue to be so for many years to come, but even as niche products, the HD formats can be profitable too, perhaps not as profitable as DVD, but still profitable.
