here is just one of the reasons specified
[HD DVD] was launched in a very stable way, with stable specifications, and they had specified a reference player model, so all players had to be compatible with the HDi interactivity layer, and all players had to be capable of the interactivity," explained Bell. "That speaks to the DVD Forum, that it published specs that were complete and market-ready, and that it didn't need to publish up [and change the specs], as Blu-ray has. To some degree, [such changes are] going to create some legacy issues
They have also officially discontinued any bluray titles that are on the shelf
Blu-ray fans hoping to pick up copies of such hits as 'M:i:III,' 'World Trade Center,' 'Dreamgirls' and 'Flags of our Fathers' better do so fast, as they're soon to become collector's items.
This news follows yesterday's confirmation that Paramount had cancelled the Blu-ray SKUs for all of its previously-announced upcoming Blu-ray titles, including 'Top Gun,' 'Face/Off,' and 'Blades of Glory,' (the latter of which had been scheduled for release next Tuesday
