Robots don't say "ye".

No, blu-ray is not necessarily better than DVD, because it does not fit the needs of many people at this point. There will come a time when it will, most likely, but right now it does not. There is more to being "better" than just sound and image quality.

No, the PS3 is not necessarily better than the 360. It doesn't fit the needs of as many people either.

I'm not sure that "better" means what you think it means.

And yes people are already downloading blu-ray quality movies at a fraction of the size using modern compression algorithms, but thath as nothing to do with blu-ray as a medium.

It has better prize, but IT isn`t better. Needs isn`t the same as better. It is better, but people don`t need it? Well, in very very few cases. So I think I understand the word BETTER perfectly.

But the downloading has something to do with the NEEDS of something BETTER, right?

No, this shows pretty artfully that you don't know what "better" means in consumer circles.

It means that people consider it better as a balance of factors, not justh aving features that are better. Yes, price and utility come into that. Right now, DVDs are better for the average consumer. Like I said, that will change, but it doesn't change the reality of what's up right now.
