Just a quick question. The Best Buy set of the new blu ray of RED has the comic extra and the disc is a flipper, BD one side and DVD the side.
Why all the hate towards flippers? Or perhaps I am seeing perceived hate. Is there enough evidence out there now that a blu ray flipper will fail or has playback problems? I do prefer what Disney does and provides the film on DVD as an extra disc. Worth the cost to me.
But this seems like a good value for the consumer. I'll probably try to get RED with the Best Buy extras.
Perhaps this is more a philosophical problem, that you should bot mix formats? I guess when Toshiba was doing it with their HD-DVD's, there was hate then too. I have the first release of Star Trek TOS Season One on those Hybrid discs and I'm glad it still has the DVD side and still works! Of course I got the blu ray set too.
