I wonder how long it will take for Blu-Ray to become obsolete since hi-speed streaming will be the future.

Yes, the decision of Warner Bros. ist bad for Toshiba. But now all consumers get more clearness what system to buy.

Blu-Ray wins, but it’s going to be difficult for it to get as popular as regular dvd until prices come down. But the picture is sweet and I dare anyone who sees the picture to not want a player.

@Cedar, it may or may not be a killing blow but HD DVD only has 2 major studios backing it while Blu-Ray has double that with 4. It will be interesting to see how many HD movies these 6 studios put out this year. This will definitely contribute to the winner of the format war… if there is still one left

For what it’s worth, here are some numbers for normal DVD and HD movie sales. HD is not a big percentage but as more movies are released in the HD space and hardware comes down in price, it’s going to add up fast.

The Digital Entertainment Group on behalf of the studios show that consumers spent $16 billion on DVDs in 2007, down from $16.6 billion the previous year. Next-generation media sales, both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD, added $300 million to the pie, while the rental business was flat at $7.5 billion. (source)

While I agree it was a serious blow to HD DVD Im not sure its a killing blow yet. We could still see HDDVD come back and take the market. I personally don’t have either blue ray or hddvd so I will continue to wait.
