This is 100% fact. It has been highly documented that the winner of the format wars celebration would be short lived. Once digital downloads become the norm people will catch on fast to the technology. Discs in general will be non-existent. |
Yup something gives me that understanding too. They may have the upper hand in the HD format, but here's what's happening If people are not convinced to even upgrade to Blu Ray, it would just reset everything to zero. DVD players that upscales?
So they better get their butts out of the chair and start pushing the stone up hill. HD disks have just been introduced for about two years or so. I don't know how much DVD sold in it's introduction years. Today almost every media can be downloaded. With space being so cheap, the only thing holding back is how much that bandwidth can provide. So it's most likely downloads that will kill discs in the near future.
I've heard in some Podcast at IGN, they're starting some connection with crazy speeds. With that it's inevitable that media will be so available to everyone. IMO i like downloading but I want something to show, hey hears my collection. I'm that kind of a person.
For Blur ray to beat DVD it's gonna be a rocky road with snakes on it. But till then, best HD discs are still Blu-ray.
