Mr Sanders, President of Warner Home Video, is not a happy camper (see the New York Times article). I suspect he's not happy with Blu and the way the article reads, has essentially given Blu an ultimatum....shit or get off the pot!!! It's going to very interesting as to how this whole business shakes out especially since I get no feeling that Blu-ray software titles are on their way down...not even during the holidays.

This is amazing. The OP, a known troll, uses the word "ultimatum", and we have no less than two members (you and bruceames) that fall in line like
sheep.
Do you know who mikemorel is?
It's amazing how much can be read into 3 little words from a CEO. If you believe every word that CEO's say I feel incredibly sorry for you and your apparent gullibility. HINT #1: They only say things to help THEIR OWN BOTTOM LINE! HINT #2: These things they say may or may NOT be true.
Toshiba said a SRT DVD player was coming this year - where is it?
Bluray talking heads said bluray would overtake DVD in 3 years. That hasn't happened.
WARNER bros. - yes the same WB in the article -said they would remain exclusive last year - HOW DID THAT TURN OUT? Your little A2 became useless quite quickly didn't it? 2 month after you bought it they sold the farm. How could they! CEOs never lie!
Yet now you believe their words carte blanche? I think you see WHAT YOU WANT TO see in their words.
You never know the motivations of
individual corporations. They could be gesturing (i.e. bluffing) to gain attention. There are tons of reasons why they seem to be the ONLY studio that ever says things like this. You think that is an accident? Especially when others studios are on record as being "bullish"? Why the contradiction between studios? Why is WB always the one bellyaching? By coincidence? Please. Don't be so naive.
Do you own a bluray player? Or do you just have the $98 Walmart special A2?
