In Reply to: Nope. I'm looking at the big picture. Universal shouldn't have been exclusively supporting an inferior format posted by Jazz Inmate on March 28, 2008 at 22:13:03:
GE should not have allowed Universal to be format exclusive. At minimum, they should have said "Support both: you're running our business, not a fan club, Ken.". Of course, that's assuming GE knew better (the studio support for Blu-ray should have made it obvious).
As a side note, none of their VC-1 encodes can be ported to Blu-ray (unlike Warner Bros' encodes, but they're bit-starved as it is, so that's not necessarily a good thing), though that may be a blessing in disguise -- maybe they'll opt for AVC when encoding for Blu-ray.
