Wait...what? They are going to try to sell legitimate BR's in China?
Isn't China the market where DVD piracy at retail establisments is so high that legitimate DVD's are sold in cardboard envelopes for $1.50? And still, the mass-pirated copies are cheaper and probably sell better?
What hope does a legitimate BR market have there? Or are they hoping to get a few months of BR sales/profits before the DVD pirates can switch their factories to HD and all hope is lost?
China's economy is growing steadily, so more and more people will be able to afford upscale entertainment. Just a few years ago it was almost unheard of to own a car in China, and now the roads are becoming completely gridlocked with them.
