Fanboy.
BluRay has already outpaced those formats pretty clearly.
MS already burned its FUD allowance by claiming earlier that Blu-Ray would be the next Betamax. Oh, clever, they've picked another format to compare it to. MS: you lost and cost Toshiba billions and your codecs are not in use in HD media in the living room!!!! aHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Universal is now hard at work with the Blu-Ray transfers, which are higher quality than their earlier HD-DVD ones. Why don't we ask f-ing Universal Pictures if Blu-Ray has a future, huh people?
Blu-Ray isn't going anywhere. 10% of people on Netflix already rent Blu-Ray, sales are pretty good, and the numbers will keep increasing as standalone prices drop and more PS3s get out there. The recession (thanks, lack-of-oversight-during-6-years-of-unified-Republican-rule) will doubtless slow adoption a bit. Oh well.
