Highly Ranked

The format war has gotten the players to be cheaper, but not the discs, nor is it really helping getting a lot of titles made.

This whole thing has split the AV community three or four ways, one, both or none. Studios have to decide what format to support, meaning either they only support about half the HDM market or double their expenses in making essentially redundant discs to catch all of the HD market. That division is making it hard for a studio to justify supporting such a niche market when that niche market is split two ways ways. We're still not getting a lot of back catalog titles, I think in part because the market has been needlessly split.
