Well SONY said themselves that BR isnt the future and expects it to be gone due to rapid growth in technology

 

 

Bullshit!I want proof of this, because Sony wants Blu Ray to go mainstream. What a waste of a console generation and the hard earned dollars of their consumers. For them to switch from Blu Ray so soon would be a **** you to their consumers. They sold Blu Ray as if it was the future. No hard format is the future.

 

Actually there is an article on here somewhere where Sony themselves state that they are expecting Blu-Ray to begin fading by 2012-13.  This, along with the fact that it is no-where near what penitration they wanted it to have by now, (there own admission), it raises the idea that by 2012-13, what is going to be taking it's place???

IF Microsoft made a 'deal', and the price of the Holo tech was cheap enough, and the next xbox had this HOLO disk, couldn't movie studio's shift over to this medium, yet still be able to be played on Blu-ray players - thus targeting both HD abd BR, without actually supporting Blu-ray? - It would canda be like games going Multiplat!

 

I might understand games, but I don't see Holo tech being used for movies. Currently the problem is that there's not enough people owning HD tvs in the first place. Even if the next set of definition comes (Super Hi-Vision, which is still being developed) 2012-2013, assuming that the recession starts recede, Bestbuys will have been stockpiling unsold HD TVs, which will sell like hot pancakes.
