It's become the "symbol" of why the industry just isn't working under
that dual-format system that the draft-dodgers think is so "livable" and
"economic":
Unless companies want to spend money creating two separately different
industries--which Warner, for one, DOESN'T--any industry with two
different formats is forced to sell to the Lowest Common Denominator.
And as long as HD-DVD exists, *that* just happens to be Lowest.
And that seems to be the problem with all the Dual-format studios right
now...Oops, wait. There's aren't "all the dual studios" anymore, are
there? Just Warner.

Trust us: When we say we want to wipe HD off the face of the earth,
it's not brand loyalty or rah-rah cheerleading for "evil" Sony.
It's wondering just how darn long we're going to have to suffer for
buying an innately defective product, when all the machinery is readily
available to NOT make it defective.
