If true, I find the absence of DVD-A support really dissappointing. Accepting that it's a dead format, what are we to do with our DVD-A collections in the long term?

I'm sure there are technical or financial reasons as to why (no doubt M got burnt as well), but, for M's next gen players not to support this legacy format is wrong from the customer p.o.v. - the same customer that took the leap of faith with M to buy into DVD-A in the first place.

Ambisonic didn't take off either but that stayed with each generation of processor.

It's a potential reason why some consumers might skip the next gen of disc spinners altogether and wait until absolutely everything can be played via a server....DVD-A included.
