>They should simply issue double format packs, with a CD and a DVD in th pack, and that would be it.<That might be more expensive in the long run. And remember, record companies are in the business of selling discs in volume, they want you to buy two copies of an album for playback in two places, rather than giving away two copies in the one pack. But, this is something American Gramaphone have done with their DVD-Audio titles. They bundle a CD and double-sided DVD in each pack, the DVD has DVD-Video content on one side and DVD-A on the other.
>Wonder how long this hybrid disc thing will take before it hits the market.<
At CES there were rumblings of titles being already in the works, according to a story liked to at the bottom of this latest one. Maybe this is why Warner have been a little slow of late, they're waiting on hybrids?
