Well, it has potential to be, but overpriced hardware/software, poor quality control, and bugs galore have plagued it.
Some of the releases are too aggressive with DNR, killing natural film grain, and delivering freakishly clean transfers that are at odds with film purists. This is not the norm, but it must be noted as the problem it can be.
HD-DVD, despite being put out pasture, was the more stable, cost-effective, and customer-friendly of the two formats. By far.
I hope, and trust, that Sony and partnering companies will get their act together and at
least make Blu-Ray a true force in the game.
