Even people who have Blu Ray are complaining that it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

Micro Soft and Apple are NOT backing Blu Ray, and Nintendo and X BOX 360 have knocked out Blu Ray’s main card PS 3.

DVD has over 80 % of the market, and Blu Ray is shrinking even in Walmart which is the desperation for exposure place even if it means selling your product at a loss.

DVD is good enough for most people, we have the upgrader if we need it, and streaming is taking over.

SONY wants us to convert to Blu Ray so they can stop making the players backwards compatible, and then force us to buy everything over. Don’t believe me? They pulled this crap with PS 3. When people still bought PS 2 games, they stoped making PS 3 backwards compatible.

SONY and Blu Ray are failing in this scam called Blu Ray and they deserve to fail.

DVD was worlds ahead of VHS, and you could see the difference on any TV. You won’t see universal acceptance until the players drop under $100US.

I wouldn’t think delaying the release of SD for a week would do much except cause more P2P traffic, increase shipping and billing costs and delay receiving revenue.

Trying to artificially ram technology down the throats of consumer in order to force a standard has never worked well in discretionary items.

Blu-ray will take over when players and media hit a level that ordinary folks are willing to pay. The vast number of consumers watch a movie once.

Getting all aggressive would mean on demand and pay for view for a big number of consumers. Not something retailers and hardware manufacturers are eager to see.

Not in my house, or any one else I can think of…This sounds like pure hype and B.S.

If the studios REALLY want Blu to succeed they would delay DVD release of new titles by a week but include an SD DVD with every Blu-ray movie sold. DVD would die in less than a year AND they could cut the prices big time (to near DVD levels) due to economies of volume.
