There's also this famous Pirates of the Caribbean fiasco demonstrating some serious early-adopter issues on Blu-ray: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gQG4OFgrpA That interview demonstrates why executives and others are often limited to speaking only about their area of expertise. The CEO of Philips had a much more realistic and down-to-earth set of comments about HDM last week saying that it was really early to call a winner and that progress is definitely being made towards a better HD future. It's only when somebody puts on their official party hat that they start making dumber comments.

What a jackass– It appears that the rush to release on BD caused serious transfer issues and misalignment. What a failure.

Pirates doesn’t even fit properly on BD!!!!

This is very bad. How can they release crap like this on what they say is the best format? You never hear of this happening to DVD or HD DVD.
