this RDM thing is 1920p, (Super HD) and at the moment barely anyone anywhere has a super HD tv, people are only just taking up HD, super HD adoption is at least another 5 years away and even then youre assuming that RDM will get early adoption from majour studios

 

Soooo... what your saying is Buy this new format, because your 1080p movies will look just as good and cheap, and in 5 years when prices of the "Super HD" models come down, we will be ready...

So true furture proof Format at the price of DvD's... ya I'd say it's a safe bet.

 

what studio is gonna adopt another format that wont sell for 5 years? i can see it happening in 2013 when people start buying super hd tvs, but i doubt any majour studios will adopt before then, and Blu-Ray isnt that expensive, its the same as dvd was when it first launched, and as for future proof, youre making the assumption that no one will release a competetive format and at no point do i suggest anyone should buy a technology that wont be value for money for 5 years and even then only if it sees mass market adoption and has no competting formats.

Ok well... this New Format will have the rez that supports up to 1920p... so it will look as good if not better then Blu-Ray on your 1080p TV, and when 5 years comes around you will be ready, so a studio thats always looking for a ways to sell Movies will be interested (and thats ALL the studios), and once word of mouth gets out that something better, cheaper, larger (for 1 layer) there might be no stopping it..

Yes Blu-Ray is that expensive. It might be the same as DvD when it first came out but come on...

DvD was replacing vhs...VHS... Blu-Ray is replacing DvD.. not so much of an upgrade if you ask many.. (but there are thousands of discussions on that topic sooo..)

I'm making the assumption because you said that "Super HD adoption" is 5 years away.. and I said "this format is future proof" you buy it NOW and it looks amazing on your 1080p and 5 years from now it still looks amazing.

Your acting like this new format will ONLY play on a 1920p tv.. Thats like saying you can't view DvD's with you Blu-Ray player..
