There is no "wrong format", only choices and films that folks WANT to collect.

Call it "support" or whatever euphemism you like, but you've effectively established yourself as this forum's leading fan-boy and pompom carrying cheerleader for SONY and Blu-ray. You might as well admit it.
The bottom line is that you, more than anyone else, worship the god of Blu-ray at the alter of SONY in preference to approaching this issue logically, as an aficionado of movies. Capacity issues notwithstanding, a film collector would be interested in obtaining the best copy of favorite films as available, regardless of the format; that's why I endorsed a dual format player solution.
Feel free to continue thumping your chest and doing cartwheels over Warner's announcement if you like. However, I suspect (with no small degree of apprehension), that if indeed the field is narrowed it will not be the magic bullet for consumers that you seem to hold with such a high degree of confidence. One thing I can say without equivocation is that I'm sure this issue will be revisited many times in the weeks and months to come.
