Guess WB will have to take the hit as well, they were the only major studio and only reason HD-DVD even got off the ground. Guess you can get "The Matrix" on Blu-Ray soon.
Unlike the VHS-Beta formats (where the best format lost) there's a big advantage to blu-ray in that it's not as vulnerable to surface scratches.
For those of us that had laserdisk, this was a big down side to DVD. Although I did forget and leave a couple laserdisks in my car on sunny day and they turned into salad bowls.
Plus laserdisk was analog and you could run it through a resolution doubler and get 900 lines.
