Re: Article: Blu-Ray Producers Say Studios Should Shift Expectations About Physical M

It's just the corporate mandate to never think small. EVERYTHING has to outperform and outsell whatever happened last quarter.

Look at the pressure Toshiba put on itself, causing top executives...

Re: Article: Blu-Ray Producers Say Studios Should Shift Expectations About Physical M

I seem to remember Blu-rays coming in proper cases for the first few years while DVDs were in the eco-cases.

Re: Article: Blu-Ray Producers Say Studios Should Shift Expectations About Physical M

Re: Article: Blu-Ray Producers Say Studios Should Shift Expectations About Physical M

Re: Article: Blu-Ray Producers Say Studios Should Shift Expectations About Physical M
