Hi Chris,
Man I hope you are wrong about that.
I was cheering Sony all along to win the format war because I am hoping for Hi-Rez Music! I have been an early adopter geek for longer that I or my bank account care to admit. Since the demise of DVD-A and SACD for the mainstream I'm still hoping artists that care about the warm analog sound qualities will explore Blu-Ray.
Done properly DVD-A and SACD (192KHz) sound real close to vinyl in my book without the friction hiss!
I hope someone goes for it!
