Would you be happy with a system that won't have Universal movies?
And BTW, Disney isn't considered blue-ray exclusive. In early March (at
the annual stockholders meeting) Disney CEO Robert Iger said the
company still believed Blu-ray would win the format war but he also
said the company "will probably publish in both formats". Basically
Disney is waiting to see which way the wind blows. I suspect other
studios have a similiar wait and see attitude.
