Geez you do no research what so ever. You are the worst form of ignorant. Not only do you not know the facts, you don't even look things up before you shoot your mouth off. Then decide to accept your opinion as fact.
A laughable statement at best, I looked up several of the drives which you quoted before my last post. Suffice to say, I am correct when I say you need a different drive to use the larger discs.
You do not need a new drive to use the larger layers of Blu-ray. Hitachi used a standard drive on their discs. Pioneer already stated that for their 400GB disc to work, a firmware update is all that would be needed. The only problem is cost of making these types of discs. Which will definitely go down in the coming years.
Yes, but how many people are going to update their firmware? And why in the world, would these companies even bother with larger Bluray discs when they will make more money on a new format. Really, you are clueless aren't you.
8 track a failure. LOL. Had a good laugh at that one. I guess that's why they were popular for 2 decades. From 1965 to the early 80's, when cassette tapes took over. And radio stations still used them for jingles and ads till around the 90's when computer tech took over. What a flop they turned out to be.
It was not popular till the mid sixties, and lost it's temporary boon when tapes came out in the early 70s. BTW, radio stations are not the general population of consumers. the reason radio stations used 8 tracks was because they hold more "information" they have a wider bandwidth, so they sound better.
Your right that DVD sales have declined. However, Blu-ray is steadily rising. For the first half of 2009 disc sales climbed by 91%, while players rose 25%.
Yes, Bluray sales have climbed, but they are losing ground to digital distribution. They have not flourished as well as they could have.
Again look things up. You are online. It's easy enough.
I say the same to you, because obviously you don't know how to research, so far, I have done a bit of research and have consequently destroyed your baseless arguments time and time again.

hmm no no no and no.
first, they are 400gb+ disc that work even on the old ps3 drive, all that was needed its firmware update. though someone require new drives, many of them don't.
also all blu ray players now BD Profile 2 require internet connection and some even get firmware updates through there, sometimes to fix problem with certain movies, and many blu ray players have internet capabilities like hulu and youtube.
blu ray sales climbed faster than the DVD did in it's first years. and eventually will replace DVD, but u see mp3 market, even dd still CDS still sell, while the market split, DVD+CDs sales are still profit able.
and no, DD won't work for HD movies for a while, blu ray disc have 1920x1080 24fps 5.1-7 audio surround.
do you know how much it's need to stream such file? we are not even 5 years close to have it. countries like japan, europe will probably get faster than us but media will be require for places such internet speeds are not available worldwide, and no USA it's not the world, it's quite late as internet speed goes.
while we will get there sometime, as now blu ray have clear quality advance over digital distribution which many are only SD movies. some store support it, like PSN or xbox live, but it doens't have the quality blu ray have.
