It's not because "DVD is good enough", its the prices and most know that cheaper and Profile 2.0 players are releasing in about a month, so they are waiting.

It is because "DVD is good enough," that and the fact that most have been spending the last 10 years getting theirdvd libraries built and a format change feels like a slap in the face. The only people I knwo who are excited about Blu_ray are Sony fans and Technophiles. And they can keep it.


If Blu-Ry movies and players where in the same price range with DVD movies and players then do you think the consumer would still choose DVD ?

If you do then you sir are indeed the fanboy , most of the blu-ray supporters have constantly said price is the main obstacle it's not the consumer not wanting Blu-Ray technology.


 

Yes they would. There's no movies on BD that wouldn't be on DVD and there are rewritable DVD players with digital tuners. So BD isn't yet even close to what DVD offers.

 Actually, there are such BD devices in Japan, and have been since 2004.  3 years down the line, they will be here too very cheap.  The cost difference by then between DVD and BD will be insignificant.  It happens with all technology.

 All BD players are back compatible with DVD and will be for a very long time.  Most people, besides Sony haters that I talk to, will accept Blu-ray at a certain price.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
