1) You wrote "standard", now you're using majority. Well weaselled. Also, how can you "almost" bet on something? Are you not sure if your estimate will be true by the end of 2009? HDTV will most certainly be in more homes, but it will take more years of gradual acceptance and declining costs of new sets for it to be accepted as the standard by everyone. 2) But using Blu-ray for SD content is not really working to its strengths. The consumer cares little if the disc holds 50Gb; they won't ever use it in a situation where that figure matters. Blu-ray is for HD content, for those HDTVs that are supposed to be standardised. And I really doubt a publisher that can buy blank DVDs / cases in such obscene bulk amounts as to make them almost worthless gives a fig about saving money on them. |
1) standard = majority, when more than half (majority) does something/ or buys something then its a standard. and i said i can almost bet because you would probably foolish enough to accept it and im too nice to allow you to lose something you might charish, but seriously you have never heard the experssion "i can almost bet"? just basically (in this case) means i would bet but cannot because of certain reasons. and these reasons are because we dont live anywhere close to each other nor do we ever see one another, and its lame to bet on changing sigs/avatars.
2) i never said anything about the consumer caring for the 50gb on the disc. what i said its ideal for the studious/game developers to switch to blu-ray to take advantage of the 50gb. this would then translate to happier consumers though, with more content or added features that you wouldnt see in a dvd...or atleast without more than 1 dvd. besides it saves them money to have to use only 1 disc its that simple.
