[SurroundSound] Re: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "Damn The Torpedoes" Deluxe Edition on Blu-ray

I fully understand if someone that has for example a player that only
handles SACD/DVD-A prefers to spend his or her money on supporting
releases in those formats. So there's clearly a dilema, stick to the
grace period or help out the brothers and sisters with limited format
compatibility in their gears.

Even though it was conceived for movies, blu-ray is actually a
fantastic surround format and has a great mass market potential. Its
disadvantages are more in terms of the need to invest, among consumers
as well as studios and record companies.
