RE: Whats strange to me

I was in Target last Sunday and was surprised to see a small number of Blu-Ray titles selling for around $15! So someone is at least aware that the movies themselves need to be more competitive.

For now, if it's high-def on physical media that you want, Blu-Ray is what we've got, and I see no indication that any alternatives are on their way, or that anyone will step in to fill the void if Blu-Ray should fail. So enjoy the ride for however long it lasts.

Agree that it's a mess if fairly mainstream B-D titles won't play on B-D players that aren't so old themselves. But like it or not, the PS/3 is the gold standard for Blu-Ray compatibility, and will remain so for some time to come, and I think this has been pretty obvious for awhile now. Ironically, it's those exotic dual-standard players where I expected the biggest compatibility woes. Ironic, because the big selling point was that they were supposed to future-proof you.
