If consumers ultimately are not interested in all of the minutae, detail and historical content that the Disney catalog can provide - then that will win out and the cheapest, most readily available format will win out. Simple as that. One hopes that in this media driven age - quality and content will win out, but the market is unpredictable. Disney will continue to push for quality, content and additional features. If the average consumer isn't interested - then Blu-ray will adapt, adopt or die out. Time will let us know.

Same goes for most of the commentaries out there (not just Disney). ex: I like the CSI ones because they joke a little bit and give you a lot of behind the scenes stories what was going on the set that day, or how the scene was actually filmed.
Originally Posted By peeaanuut now they are reporting a 3rd player in the hd disc market. Based on a red laser. Supposedly the player will sell for about 150 or so at costco, radio shack and a few other retailers. Discs are supposed to be a little over the cost of a dvd but less than an HD-DVD. Support for DD7.1 and DTS but no support for DTSHD or DDHD. Im sure this wont be a staying format but it might sell well if at costco and radio shack as it plays into the general consumer and not the informed consumer.

Originally Posted By peeaanuut The bonus to them is that it is easier and cheaper to produce the discs and the players would be quite universal with regular DVD and cd. I dont think it will take off, but they are putting it in the correct outlets to take off.
