WAS THIS GUY DROPPED ON HIS HEAD?

WOW - MY PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN - I CAPTURE, EDIT AND FORMAT TO BD-J IN 1080p - AND NOT ONLY IS THE TECHNOLOGY EASY TO PLAY - I'TS EASY FOR AN INDIPENDANT FILMMAKER LIKE ME TO CAPTURE - THIS GUY HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT HAD ANY REAL EXPERIENCE WITH HD. MAYBE YOU SHOULD STICK TO WRITING IN HOUSE PRESS RELEASES FOR FOR COMPANY - COMCAST OR APPLE OR WHATEVER - THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AND EARLY ADOPTERS LIKE ME SAW ALL THE ADVANTAGES THAT BD'S HAVE- LAIKE JAVA. I WAS PRODUCING BD'S IN 2006. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN AN ARTICLE ON HOW BLU-RAY WORKS OR SOMETHING!

The only benefit DirecTV and other satellite and cable providers have over BluRay now is that you can record HD programming. That's it. And this will be evaporating pretty quickly as BD drives are now available and you can now record on BD discs. Generally, you have to wait a bit longer to see some movies in HD on cable and satellite, but most new movie releases are simultaneously released in Blu Ray and regular DVD format. So I don't think any of those things will provide good competition for Blu Ray, but they will provide some alternative to people who want to get quick movie fixes without buying the movie.

Actually, the one format that can potentially still present a problem to Blu-Ray is actually regular old DVD format. It is so cheap to produce and the you can buy a DVD player for as lower as $40. However, I think this is a short run issue as Blu-Ray and BD drives becomes cheaper to produce.

BTW, if someone thinks there is no difference between 1080i on Directv and 1080P on a Blu-Ray, try looking at Cars on both formats. There is no comparison.

HDTV won the DVD war for me

I used to run out first thing and buy the new technology until I gut stuck with not only betamax but also the quick to fail RCA Discovision. Instead of rushing for the HDDVD I was sure would win I decided to sit it out until their was a winner. In the interim I upgraded to DISH HDTV package. I discovered there are more good films available than I can watch on any given month so the battle did me a favor. I have stopped dumping a couple of hundred dollars a month on DVDs and am in no rush to purchase blue ray. As long as HDTV continues to expand I have more than enough entertainment to keep me satisfied. So in my view, neither format won. The real winner is HDTV
