I have come to the same conclusion; that it may be for the best that Universal needs to start from scratch to produce Blu-ray. At least we'll get product of higher quality, albeit a year later than we should have.

On your other point, I have to disagree. It's the responsibility of the HD home video VP to decide where to take the company in any new HD format. GE isn't plugged into these issues. I'm sure the GE board expects the eletronics/appliances execs to know their markets, the pharmaceutical executives to be the experts in their markets and the Universal studios execs to be the experts in their markets, respectively. Graffeo was willfully ignoring Blu-ray's advantages and hyping HD DVD's selling points to the consumer. I'm sure he was peddling the same lies to the board. It was his responsibility and not GE's to know the market and make the right choices.

Your post is pretty funny. JI reminds me of "tailgate partyers" - Duilawyer 16:00:13 03/28/08 (0)

You might think so if you're absolutely incapable of seeing the bigger picture beyond this forum NT - Jazz Inmate 15:50:10 03/27/08 (4)

it is the opposite, you are looking through the wrong end of the telescope - Duilawyer 16:03:51 03/28/08 (3)

Nope. I'm looking at the big picture. Universal shouldn't have been exclusively supporting an inferior format - Jazz Inmate 22:13:03 03/28/08 (2)
