Nice love your statistics, LD I read articles hulk vs abomination this and I wonder if Afterdawn is a site that post tech news or a bunch of angry writers who blog about tech news. This is a bit more of an editorial piece than an actual news article. It might have read better if the writer stated the new report and simply contrasted the previous report without editorializing. I agree though, that the stats are constantly in flux and trying to predict whats next is practically impossible. – Chikn This message has been edited since its posting.

If they know so much about the future why arent the playing the stock market instead of selling data about Blu-ray, or DVD, or online video, or whatever it is? Instead of starting a flamewar on some anonymous internet forum, spare yourself some headaches and high blood pressure and just make up your own numbers. You can always revise them when the next report comes out. Good god almighty! Who the hell wrote this? A 10th grader?? Why does Afterdawn insist on hiring 21yo bloggers to do their stories? At LEAST hire someone with either an English writing degree or someone who has a few years experience writing articles. If Blu-Ray discs do not come under the 12 price tag in the next three months then I think you can chalk up this technology under the name of Beta. The reason: NetFlix has over 1 million subscribers just on the 360 alone and the number of On-Demand movies we are seeing in the cable, satellite, and online space. Oh yea, this isnt the economy of 2007 when the PS3 was released in the Almost two years later and the price of the blu-ray has gone down a mere 7 per disc. Not going to cut it in the current times. If people are cancelling cable to watch tv do you think blu-ray is going to fair? Just wrong place wrong time for Sony technology which explains the plunging of their stock. They finally win hulk vs abomination DVD war only to lose it to economic times and fast approaching technology which will eclipse it. Greed and poor economic timing will eventually doom the blu-ray.

Hes been writing articles here for a while so I am sure its alright. Even if it isnt the best english maybe he is just a bit tired and forgot to grammar check it. ; I like seeing reports like this. Its fun to watch companies like this try and predict the future, only to see them revise their estimates every few months. Two days ago they issued a press release boldly predicting Blu-ray will dominate the home video market in 2014 only to be overtaken by online video three years later. I find this prediction interesting because, while I personally dont care for Blu-Ray, if online video will take over in such a short time after Blu-Ray takes over DVD than why would anyone want to bother with Blu-Ray at all? Its articles like this that make me feel that afterdawn should change the category of News to something more appropriate like OP-ED or Editorial. It would be more accurate and honest that way. The term news implies objectivity. You cant find much of that in this article, or say the seemingly endless series on DTV transition. Theres a notable slant, driven by an unveiled agenda that pushes the news beyond being fact driven to being heavily driven by opinion. Blu-Ray, Smu-ray, I know that my HD DVD will win, thats why Ive bought the player, discs and TV to match lets see them crystal ball that what! its what!Damn it, looks like Ill have to fall back on my Betamax, Laserdisc and my trusty 8-track. Seriously, the only thing stopping Blu-Ray taking off are the ridiculous prices they expect people to pay. Until ISPs stop screwing over their consumers with caps and bad plans online video aint happening, for now BR is it.

Yeah of how people listened to Obamas content before voting for him? s dont stop Netflix streaming online jackass. Not paying attention are we? ISPs are starting to limit bandwidth in a mis guided effort to throw the baby out with the bath water. The larger ISPs are part of the media mafia and they will do everything they can to push consumers off them and back into buying media from traditional sources. And then there is shoehorning in the tiered net witch is coming becusr big brother is paid to look the other way.
