I get your point (now ) but I wonder how much the selection of movies will impact the test, at this point. If the particular movie a consumer wants to rent is available in EZ-D DVD format, that consumer doesn't necessarily care about other titles that are not in that format, yet. If the BV test goes well and they release MORE titles in this format, other studios might or might not adopt the idea. If consumers like it and demand it, I'm not sure if that will convince other studios to try it out especially if the cost to make EZ-D DVDs isn't "prohibitive".

I guess, I just think it's a bit too early to tell yet. D-VHS has died the "death" we figured it would months ago.

Peace...
