Notice how they also mention Blu-Ray and see what techies are saying

Blu-ray / HD DVD - Instead of a single next-gen movie format, the industry gave us two. A bloody war ensued that slowed adoption of both formats. Blu-ray emerged the victor, but as internet HD distribution picks up, it will probably never reach the level of ubiquity that DVD has.

Oh wait, but everyone wants to own a physical copy of their movies/tv shows/etc, right? :p

 

So right on. Physical media is pretty much a dinosaur sport in my neck of the woods. Blu -what? Digital is the future, be my guest and waste $200 on a spinning disc player and discs that you have to wait for in the mail. Its pretty much a high definition Victrola (circa 1905) if you ask me. Oh and good luck getting your right to backup without all kinds of hacks. Me I watch dozens of HD movies on whatever devise I want all off one drive. Oh and yes I bought my movies, every SINGLE one.

We can either give the finger to invasive DRM and more BS formats or we can be "consumers". BR and other recent formats are just an excuse to rape us with needless DRM, while the original (DRM-free) files become ever more attractive. HD formats be they HD-DVD Blu-Ray or DVD-A are a fucking joke meant to entrap the average Best Buy shopper- don't be a fool.
