In any event, it will be 10-15 years before Blu-Ray drives are as cheap to produce as DVD drives, even if Blu-Ray were to win.
Well I don't think so, history has taught us that when stuff get mass produced the prices go down.
Look at DVD players or HDTVs, eight years ago these products were at least five times more expensive than they are now.
I firmly believe that the prices of Blu-Ray players will come down quickly, in five years we'll see them at a 150$- 200$ range. Why? because the cost of the infrastucture needed to mass produce the players will already have been made in revenues, and competition between electronic companies will be strong. Just my opinion...
