| selnor said: Someone here mentioned no money being made from the industry through downloads. Thats not correct. The music industry fought this for years and we no where this ended up. The movie industry on the other hand is well aware of that and are being wise to adopt it strait away. The music industry makes plenty of money now from downloads and the same will be for the movie industry if they dont fight a battle they will lose. And as many articles show (some of which Ive already posted) the industry is adopting downloads and streaming quickly. This is not a dig at Sony at all (for those who think it is) but using an old tech for HD films wasnt the best option as well as how fast the online services have grown in the last 6 months for HD films I think like most tech websites and publications do that BD will be fairly extinct in 2-3 years in terms of sales. |
Sony is a big supporter of Digital Downloads, and people tend to forget this. I have only bought one Anime episode off the PS3 store, but I have rented several times.
From my previous post, they should market BD as they do in Japan - emphasize the storage capabilities more than the quality difference. Heck, I may buy more DD films if I could burn them to BD and store them on the shelf rather than always having to shuffle my hard drive space.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
