It's an interesting read, and sure to get alot of disagreement from the some, BUT, it's interesting to point out that we didn't see this expect massive increase in brd sales over the holiday season, as many raved about for months leading up to it. It really a question of how sustainable this format can remain, without WW support. Sure, it's doing well in Japan, but with electronics makers around the world reeling financially...how interested are they going to be in investing further to push the format? Time will tell....

Because you really think selling DVD players for 30$ is going to save the electronics companies ?

What I am sure isn't, is selling products for a loss....

Companies make profits on their blu-ray players. The diodes aren't very expensive anymore.
IGN's article is deliberately provocative. It's also easy to quibble with. Blu-ray is just a stop-gap before downloads? DVD was always a stop-gap before Blu-Ray and downloads. DVD players can upscale? PS3 and other blu-ray players are awesome upscalers. Some movies you can't get on blu-ray? Good luck finding FFVII: Advent Children Complete on DVD, suckers.
