Never.
BR will be a short-lived format.

Although i absolutely do not like the idea, the future is download.

 

blu-ray will be standard in time....apr 2008 BD sale percentage compared to that of dvd were at 5% area...if you look at the last 3 months...not so much anymore...BD having up to 17% market share against dvd as we saw on last week of jan of 2009

damn it i couldn't find that article about downloadable/streaming data market share...well anyways...if i remember correctly it's only 0.6% of the market share....it's not a big thing yet...and there are people out there who want the physical format...it just has more value to them having the physical form...physical formats will probably stick around for a while.....especially with that kinda of market share....

I see these stats thrown around quite often but you should note they are hugely flawed.  They only take into the top 20 releases of each format.  It totally ignores the huge catalog market on DVD vs BD.  If those numbers were included they would make Blurays marketshare look significantly worse than it already is.  Go to walmart and see the $4-5 bins of DVD movies.  Those stats are completely ignoring that market segment.
