There will be blood final scene

There will be blood final scene

I do know one BR needs to drop prices to be adopted by the masses, I think the biggest factor in inhibiting BR sales is the cost of the discs and the terrible selection offered in that format. I wouldnt be surprised to see BR take another 7-9 years before it hits equal status with DVD. But I cannot accept the postulate that flash will compete at all with optical media. It has its place, and its penetration will expand. Nonetheless, it wont be optical that it supplants. Youre an idiot. No competition? Those studios and manufacturers are all competing with each other for your purchase. By your rationale, DVD should have stayed perpetually high because there was no competing format. But it didnt. Over the course of several years, players went from 500 to 1 Why are we expecting anything quicker this time around? In fact, this entire thread is alarmist, impatient pap. Here we are, a few months into the year, and everyone thinks blu-ray was supposed to supplant DVD overnight because it beat HD-DVD? Since when? This was going to take years to get a foot in the door from the VERY BEGINNING. Even HD-DVD sold like sht compared to DVD and at 150 players no less. Until the library of releases gets better and more people buy HDTVs, this will remain a niche format. Stop lamenting already, Jesus. The BD Association is not licensing BR to the cheap suppliers that typically force the market down. Right now the only companies authorized to produce BR players are in the price premium category. That will keep prices higher, longer. I tend to think of LG as one of those cheap suppliers. Perhaps you could elaborate on what you mean along with providing a source for the comment. Maybe a few years ago I wouldve agreed but LG makes some top notch stuff now. I am an idiot? thats thanks. Your still blind devotion to a disk format that sounds rediculous even thinking about it has become really old. I was merely stating that once HD-DVD got out, BR stopped dropping in price, in spite of assurances form yourself specifically. According to execs at Samsung and Sony as reported here at DT a few weeks ago BR prices wont be dropping anytime soon. I never saw a DVD player for 500, much less 1000 like BR started out at. I have never, ever seen any DVD player for over 300, and It did not take 5 years for it to get cheap. I do recall getting a progressive scan DVD player in 2004 for 250, last year, in 2007, just 3 years later, you could get them anywhere on th net for BR is not on that kind of a track. Get a habit other than Blue you are appearing to be both narrow-minded and nerdy at the same time. If you think that BD is permanently stuck at the current pricing, you are indeed an idiot.
