Lasorsa attributed the delay to HD DVD's current lack of region coding." And in most circumstances, you're going to get HD-DVD movies coming out a lot later than BD, for neutral studios which is one of the things that has pushed the market in Bd's favor. |
Do you not comprehend what I was getting at? I was giving you an example of a studio delaying an HD DVD release because of a movies release dates internationally. I was refuting your reasons that studios use region encoding. It has NOTHING to do with piracy.
As for a supposed advantage for Blu-ray. Note the "Since we sell to independent international distributors, we have to be more sensitive to their release dates than a major studio,"
To say that "in most circumstances" an HD DVD release will come later than BD is just not true. Warner will never do that.
You should quit with these crazy posts before you lose any more credibility.
