If Warner is only intending on using 9GB for their movies on Blu-Ray, so they can use cheaper red-laser compatible manufacturing, won't the quality levels be just the same a dual-layer DVD? This just sounds like a scheme to make me buy Casablanca again, but with no improvement in quality. It sounds just like DVD but with hardend encryption. If Warner is saying that DVD quality is good enough and consumers won't notice that they are not getting a better product, then why should we buy into this technology? I hope consumers just say "No" to both Blue-Ray and HD-DVD. I like my DVDs fine just they way they are.
