Make no difference. Ther are already titles on DVD where the
production run is a specific limited number. Making a split dual
format run would make next to no difference at the pressing plants.
The workers get paid very little and all the management that are
salaried are... just that. so the cost is at the end of the year as
to what a product line change out costs, and it is very little on the
entire cost of operation.
The line will be up for MILLIONS of pressings of each title.
Do you not remember "Full Screen" format DVDs? I remember many many
boxes of product that never sold and the studios ate the losses each
time, no problemo.
With these formats, any unsold discs are still hot inventory and will
eventually sell.
If all you wussies would get out there and buy, instead of this wait
and see pussy shit, they studios would be gearing up to press
everything that comes out. As it stands, they are even waiting
around, still releasing movies on regular DVD format. Get off your
asses.
Their only pre-plan (or should be) was to be sure to get hi res
digital masters from the film so they can press whatever res disc they
want. The next big super hi res change is decades off, so this is
what we have to work with right now, folks.
