There's a big difference when it comes to what Netflix represents. How many people with a subscription to Netflix would go out and purchase a Blu-Ray copy of a movie when it's available on NetFlix and they have already basically paid for that copy of it? It's also far cheaper when you consider what you're getting for your money. Here's a link to what I'm talking about... Also with the rapidly rising amount of competition to Blu-Ray (much more than DVD ever faced) I can't help but wonder if Sony's falling fortunes in this tough economy will spread to the format as well. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/33413/Blu-ray-losing-out-to-downloads#after_ad |
You were still caught with your foot in you mouth when you clearly didn't know what you were saying...
"It would be interesting to see the biggest backer of Blu-Ray supporting the format's biggest threat, digital movie downloads."
...because the PS3 offers digital downloads to rent and own which also allow for playback on the PSP. Besides, now many people go out to watch a movie and then later decide to buy that same movie to watch again and to own it on some optical format? This is very common. We all know that. So they are paying to see it at the theaters and then later purchasing a physical copy. Nothing wrong with that while that same principle can be applied to Netflix as well. And you also have your growing HD A/V enthusiasts who are enjoying 1080p and HD audio ONLY from Blu-ray, not Netflix, not anywhere else for now. And you posting a link from just one region doesn't back your false claim...

See. Positive Blu-ray news that's newer than yours. You need to see the big picture and not just narrow your view to fuel your anti-productive agenda. Enlighten yourself by going to www.blu-ray.com, and there will be no denying that Blu-ray is becoming more and more a supported and viable format from hardware makers, content providers, and users.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
