The studios are going to have to pony up to get people's attention and interest. Think about it The studios are making big bucks, Paramount made $1.2 Billion last year. Putting out HD titles requires an investment, but it isn't that big, and in many cases, they already made the 4K intermediate for their latest remastered DVD. They don't need to sell that many discs to make their investment back. After that, its all profit. If they have to wait a few months or so, fine-its still money in the bank to them. That's why studios like their catalog titles.
All of the studios have GREAT titles in their vaults. It wouldn't hurt them to put them on HD. If it takes a while for the numbers to roll in, they'll still get their profits in the long run. The idea of putting out drek, or catering to gamers just alienates the very people they are trying to attract.
