What bothers me is that they don't seem to care about releasing "good looking" titles first. Planet Earth is a great example selling so well because of how great it looks, you figure they would try to pick older titles with that oooh and ahhh factor. I think the bigger problem is until the format war is over then they won't put any investment into releasing all the great older titles. I forgot to mention I think another reason we keep seeing the B-level titles is that they don't have to put all the special features/directors cut work into a release. They just make sure they do a good transfer and throw it in a box. I assume they know that if they start to release the true classics there's a lot of work to be done and they might only get one shot at it. I personally find that to be the most annoying thing about the format war, the idea that there are some titles I will never get if it carried on indefinitely, that's unacceptable.
