| HappySqurriel said: I could understand Disney deciding to not release any of their classic animated movies to Blu-Ray until the market was more mature, or possibly to stop releasing classic movies of any type until later, but I would doubt they would stop releasing new movies. The reason for this is simple, the "Disney Vault" is a gimmick designed to force collectors to rush out and replace their existing copy of a movie with a shiny new copy, because the new copy will only be available for a limited time. This strategy will not work well unless most people they are attempting to sell a movie to have the hardware to play the movie. |
They've already announced first classics to move to BR. This topic (sorry to OP) is below an actual rumour. It is without any substance whatsoever.
Disney have always been strongly behind BR. They need a new format to push their classics, etc. all over again and have very strongly backed BR. Now, with BR effectively winning the war thanks to Warners they're suddenly going to abandon all that effort? There is not one shred of evidence for this neither would it make a bit of business sense for them right now.
I can't see Disney doing anything but back BR and digital downloads while continuing to support DVD through to the end of its life.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
