Not really. Charlies Angles was pressed so they could distribute
the disc to manufacturers for testing purposes. Content doesn't
matter in that case.
It has the added plus for Sony - is that it's not one that is going
to be a target for widespread copying/duplication/whatever.
If CA were to be the first Blu-Ray issued for commercial/retail
sale I'd agree with you, but as it stands I think it's a good
choice for testing.
The technical details for that film are shown as using a digital
imtermediate master format before the final release to 35MM - so
at least part of the digital conversion was done. So it gives them
an inexpensive way to make disks for testing that really aren't
going to be one that everyone tries to steal [eg take the test
disks home].
No one every accused Sony of being frivolous with their money :-)
