Yeah, definitely. My guess would be that, since BD didn't have support for VC-1 as early as HD-DVD, a number of the earliest titles began production using Mpeg-2. Then, with the investment made, they didn't want to start over with VC-1. Mpeg-2 still looks respectable on a single-layer BD so long as your movies are under two hours and are properly mastered, but still not quite as good as VC-1. It's kind of retarded that they didn't implement something this important earlier.
