Blu-ray is having issues, and is about to have more. Yes, the BDA does deceive the public, hoping no one will notice. They still can't get video 1.1 up and running properly, and Sony is going to release its new players the last day of the deadline, so they don't have to be compliant of the new specs. They released a "fake" PiP feature with The Descent (2 encodes on the disc-1 with PiP and 1 without), and they are supposedly doing it again for Cars. Despite this, Blu-Ray advertises itself as having "next generation interactivity". Ha! The truth is, that having unfinished specs is hurting them, and could potentially be rather problematic this holiday season.
