And how expensive will those be in 2012 when, yes, Blu-Ray will have a significant install base and a lot of people will be invested in it?  Will it be time for people to upgrade by then?  Who knows, but I'm thinking no.  Whatever is next will be the true niche high-quality disc, because by then digital download will be much more developed, and can deliver higher quality.  Who knows, maybe some afficianados will jump at them, but to me, I don't see much market for resolutions above 1080p/lossless audio if the discs cost more.

I challenge you to come up with a coherent explanation of why people wouldn't move to higher quality Blu-Ray but WILL move to even higher quality holographic.  Especially when HDTVs only go up to 1080p.  And people even say that unless you have a big set, you don't even need 1080p.  Nope, holographic disc movies will always, always be niche compared to Blu-Ray.  It's an open question whether studios will even produce movies on them. 

 

That's actually my point.  Blu Ray will really have until 2014, because holographic storage will likely be too expensive in 2012.  Blu Ray might havea significant install base, but it might not.  If Blu Ray doesn't, then I think people will be ready for something significantly better than Blu Ray.  We are talking an order of magnitude better than Blu Ray.  Blu Ray is not a whole order of magnitude better than DVD.

I'll admit there is a good chance that Blu Ray will reach 50% market share, and if it does, it will be difficult for a new format.  However, if DVD still has 50% market share by 2014, I think Blu Ray could be pinched into being a niche in-between technology.

lol..I just have to bring up the point.

you do know that Blu-Ray is also an HOLOGRAPHIC disc based technology!

it's over.

if anything the last mainstream optical format for movies will be based on the core technology of disc based format's of DVD

Blu-Ray player's still play DVD's, and what if ever optical format replaces Blu-Ray will still be based on the core technology of DVD, AND STILL PLAY both DVD AND Blu-Ray disc's.

That's if EVER. 

IT'S A MOOT POINT BLU-RAY will never take over DVD

because it was not designed too from the start it was designed to Absorb DVD. the same May happen to Blu-Ray way later down the road

the optical format's still play VCD's, CD's.

its the very same core technology that keep's the other Viable and it make's sure the new technology stay's the standard for year's to come.

So

to keep the point , DVD is going to remain , Blu-ray is going to remain an CD is going to remain

Thus, Blu-ray does not have to "HURRY" up and take over DVD because it WILL Replace DVD anyway because Blu-Ray is also a DVD

BLU-RAY IS ALSO A FORM OF DVD.

IT WAS DESIGNED TO ABSORB DVD RIGHT FROM THE GET GO...NOT REPLACE IT.

because DVD is a standard that there is no need to replace., you just need to make DVD better

and that is what Blu-Ray is a better DVD format.

thus Since ALL BLU-RAY PLAYER'S STILL PLAY THE DVD FORMAT.

BLU-RAY HAS ALREADY DONE WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO FROM THE GET GO.
