Not sure what HFR has to do with this, how is anyone supposed to find DVD-Audio discs when they're marketed like this? I mean, are we now supposed to scour all the DVD-Video classical titles in case there's some DVD-Audio content?Another stupid marketing move... Sure, bundle the discs together, but tell us about it!
Follow Ups:
Searching dumbsters for discarded vinyl collections, raiding shops for second hand vinyl, looking at www.emimusic.ca and find the disc listed with picture from the cover with sticker 'n all and the suspense in finding a retail source (which in this case only took me 2 minutes :( ).Great fun for only 27 Euro's.
Also this disc will appear in many shops in the DVD Music section with the beforementioned sticker and it will raise consumer awarenes for the format.
I think that for these kind of releases there is not much marketing budget anyway.
Gotcha - the thrill of the chase. How about that for a marketing coup; the fun is not in owning the disc, but finding it in the first place. They should go one step further and put golden discs in a few, the modern-day equivalent of Willy Wonka. :-)
Universal have at least one classical DVD Video out with a 96/24 PCM stereo option running with full motion video. I discovered that purely by accident. I can only assume that their marketing departments assume that the packaging does the selling in the store. Anyway, if HFR were talking with EMI I'm sure they would have told them.
