News10 years to gain traction, I think they had HDTV call right on
Is Blu-ray Doomed?

If it takes 10 years before even a 10 percent penetration I think they were right with the call about HDTV.  Anyone that bought a HDTV before the DRM stranglehold standard bought a disposable multi-thousand dollar stop-gap product.  What "real" version of HDTV are we at now?  I think the real HDTV is at least 1 more version away.

NewsAgree, extra 50% cost of movies is why it is doomed on
Is Blu-ray Doomed?

People bought VCR's for hundreds of dollars, the cost of the player is not much of a deterrant.    Charging 50% more for the same movie is the killer.  A repeat of the raising of the music CD price from $12 to $17 and wondering why the market for them tanked in five years (and never recovered).  Idiots are doomed to repeat history.....

The whole purpose of this is that they want to eliminate pay-per-view competition over the internet, which would be the high users.  It is all a smoke screen to favor their on-demand products.
