Contractually, they're probably not going to alloe anyone else to either.
What "insult"? I was mearly asking a question.
The thing is, DVD is the past, and I THINK IT WILL BE ECLIPSED faster than most beleive.
BECAUSE THE PRICE of BLU will drop and the quality will continue to increase.
DVD is obsolete, only has so much storage, and you can't get blood outta a turnip.
DVD will be around for several years but BLU WILL BE THE MAJOR IN A MERE TWO OR THREE YEARS, maybe sooner.
And no reason for the price to stay high, as a Blu player is only a DVD player with
a blue laser and slightly more complicated software
