Even if they don't buy Criterion discs, just having them available is a good thing.

Understandable. My whole point was I doubt all the fence sitters will run out and buy a BD player because El Norte or The Wages of Fear was released. Obviously another member feels otherwise, but the Nielson charts will clearly show who is right, and who is wrong.
Criterion has less then 10 discs that I would ever consider buying from them on Blu-ray (that have been announced or previously released). Bottle Rocket may be my one and only purchase from them for a long time unless they crank out some Wes Anderson films.
