Re: Is Blu-Ray a Failure?
I don't think it's a failure because like that blog; it has the same misconception/mis-information as other posts, blogs, articles, etc....
Blu-ray was is not intended to replace DVD only compete/offer better video and audio. ( DVD was not made to replace VCR, it just eventually took over)
Up-converting DVD is not close to blu-ray, why are many kidding themselves. The sound of blu-ray is amazing.
Unlike like VCR & DVD battle back in the day, DVD vs Blu battle is hindered by the recession.
I'm not saying Blu-ray would be winning by now if there's wasn't a recession, but this topic would have been dead a long time ago.
Unless we get bandwidth like Korea, Japan, China or EU with no caps, video downloading will not knock out blu-ray anytime soon.
I have a large DVD collection and I still watch DVDs, but any movie I buy now is on blu-ray. I have a 1080p projector, a receiver that decodes all HD audio so why would I prefer DVD, HD streaming or downloads. Neither can give me 1080p and HD audio at the same time. (unless it's torrent download of blu-ray movies  ) |
