I've been able to download high-definition versions of many of Walt
Disney's animated classics on Xbox Live Marketplace. Granted, these
are not 1080p (or even full bitrate 720p) versions but they're still
high-definition and they're still watchable right now by anyone who
owns an Xbox 360.

It just seems strange that with an obvious need to attract more
consumers to Blu-Ray, big studios like Disney, Fox and MGM have been
so slow to release their big catalog tentpole franchises which would
surely provide incentive for movie fans to make the transition to high-
definition.

If I can watch The Aristocats, Oliver and Company, 101 Dalmations, and
Treasure Planet (not that I would ever want to watch that) on Xbox
Live Marketplace in HD (albeit more to the lower end of the spectrum),
why can't I watch those movies on Blu-Ray on my Playstation 3?
