Here’s IESB.net excellent report from the trenches:
HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc high-definition formats were hot topics in the question and answer segment of the sneak peek panel whose audience members seemed concerned not only about when their favorite tv show would be released and whether or not the original 30 second next episode preview would be attached to the end of each episode, but also what was in store for the future of DVD as a market. The panel was dubious of the each formats readiness for mainstream release.
“These formats have been really rushed to market and right now there are still a lot of bugs.” stated Hunter when asked to comment about whether or not he felt any pressure from the industry to provide interactive special features to fit the newly burgeoning formats.
Hunter pointed out that “the advanced interactivity for these formats is not reader to be used yet.”
