That's not the worst of it, what about the massive market in bootleg DVD's
whose quality is shite at best. Most consumers buy on price first and
foremost, not format. Blu-Ray will be like another failed Sony format SACD,
no one will care about it especially if it costs more than standard DVD
which is silly cheap nowadays and the quality of newly released titles has
never been higher.
