well the way things are going it wont be too much longer until blu-ray completly takes ov dvd


Actually the way things are going it is going to take some serious intervention from the BDA for Blu-ray to take over DVD anytime soon

I agree with the above which to echo my early points could mean

Timed exclusivity for Blu Ray releases and or deletion of content on standard DVD's

Pro - People who want to see the movie early will be forced into buying Blu

Cons - Piracy will probably step up to the plate, Potential lost revenues due to customer backlash

I still believe the real trick will be to bring prices down on the media. Until Blu Ray is at the same price point as a DVD it will also be second fiddle.

Also bit more of an effort to get obscure titles on Blu Ray. The major Hollywood studios and Blockbusters are fine but some people love Period drama, others love old TV series. These niche products are only available on DVD. That needs to change.
