Whats your friend position in Disney.
He works at Disneyland in So. Cal. in Tomorrowland.
His department is getting rid of the Chevron car ride next year and Honda is taking over.
They will bring in electric cars.
I'll miss the diesel engines.

It almost happened when Sony and Nintendo collaborated on a console, and the CD-i saw Mario and Zelda!
Even the Sega mascot showed up on all consoles.
In this business, nothing is guaranteed, and I'll come back in 25-50 years to when you guys baulked at the idea.

Despite the fact, to this day, VHS is in nearly 100 million homes and is the most popular medium for recording TV shows.... it stopped being a viable market for selling pre-recorded content. I think blu-ray will go that way someday, and therefore Disney will drop support...but its a few years off. No way does Blu ray hang around as long as VHS or even DVD....it'll be a blip, kind of like 8 track...garner some support for a while, thanks largely to the PS3...but in the end, I think set top boxes like TiVO and AppleTV, will edge it out in terms of serving the same purpose. |

Why does everyone refer to Blu-Ray as a Sony product when Matsushita own the most patents on the format and are likely the major profiteer from the licencing?

HUH?!? I don't consider "upgrading through time" to be competition I'm sorry, when some 70% <- (made up number) of households don't even support the product your offereing, I fail to see that as direct competition, right now the competition was between HD-DVD and Blu-ray as a "Standard format" for High Def movies. It's a transiition for sure, but I don't see warner pushing out Blu-ray and DVD versions of a movie and hoping Blu-ray outsells its DVD counterpart. They want both to sell. It's offering movies in standard definition AND high definition, not one or the other -_- When the technology becomes more wide-spread, DVD will "phase out", just like VHS and DVD, DVD was the niche market at first, then as it became the standard VHS was phased out. So consider it what you will, I personally don't see it as a competition -_- |
If DVD retains 99% market share for the next 15 years, do you honestly think studios will still be making blu-ray movies? If blu-ray attains 99% of the market share do you think anyone will still be making DVDs? They are directly competing formats. If you own a movie in blu-ray, then there is no reason to buy it on DVD. If you have just bought the movie on DVD, there is very very little reason to buy it on blu-ray. People will not be buying movies on both formats and that means they are compeing for sales. Every DVD sale is one less blu-ray sale, and every blu-ray sale is one less DVD sale. It is that simple. DVD and VHS were very much competing formats back in the day as well.
I am starting to enjoy the downloading movies thing more and more... I was pretty concerned at first, but I find it is becoming more and more convenient.
Sales of actual DVDs and HD/BD will continue to fall for the years to come.
A friend of mine told me that he showed Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba a picture of me and they wanna have a threesome with me....I'm so excited
I can't believe people posting here see it as resonable Disney would drop BR!
Check out sites and sources for the movie/media industry. The very idea is nuts right now!
Disney has been part of pushing BR, its a clear part of their strategy (together with downloads via multiple sources like Apple, MS and others) to ensure their core library sells well all over again to a new generation of families.
To change stance now would be a negative move for the company and probably percieved as such by the industry.
And let's not forget all the promotional activity starting to build around their (wait for it) BR release schedule for this year.
IMHO the sooner Toshiba give up the ghost (heck they're losing the porn industry now! Guess they forgot it sells 'Blue' movies afer all) the sooner crazy rumours like this will stop.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
A friend of mine said that the wii is not going to ship anywhere for the whole month!
Yea guys he works with nintendo, They are planning to hold over a million wii's and sell them all at once, the day there GDC conference comes.
All true guys.
