      I totally disagree with you. First, I predicted almost two years ago that BluRay would win over HD-DVD. I was right on that one. Even Wal-Mart has a BluRay section for movies. I was right before and I'm correct on this.

          I am not even going to bother reading your 'article' that is probably the opinion of one person.

            Well then don't disagree with me? It's not even my opinion - it's the news.

              BLOGS do not equal the NEWS. If you can't figure that out then I am not going to bother trying to have a discussion about it. I can just come back later and say I was right.

                Yeah right, and it's being replaced with? Blu-ray is the only HD movie solution available today. I'd say that it's slowly emerging, not dying. Now when I go to Blockbuster, I first try to rent the movies on Blu-ray if they're available. Unfortunately many times they're rented out and I end up having to rent the DVD.

                    Have you've been spying on me? I skimmed it looking precisely for what's killing it -- the alternative. Perhaps it's too burried in the sea of babble.

                        Hmmm, I had no idea those would be capable of playing 1080p movies.

                            They might be if you'd put a 1080p movie on a regular DVD.. But that's not their purpose Maybe they're referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDTV\_quality\_DVD\_Player

                                  Last year we got an HDTV and a $400 upsampling DVD player. The picture was absolute crap. We replaced the $400 DVD player with a $400 PS3 and WOW, what a difference! The PS3 upsamples SD DVDs amazingly well but they pale in comparison to a Blu-Ray movie. I have to whole-heartedly disagree with the "article". Saying upsampling DVD players will kill Blu-Ray is like saying Daewoo is going to kill Chevrolet.

                                  My mind is like an aluminum trap. Some things get caught in the trap, and some things bend the trap and get away.

                                    As opposed to saying Chevrolet will simply drop dead as a result of its own failings? :-\

                                          Last year we got an HDTV and a $400 upsampling DVD player. The picture was absolute crap. We replaced the $400 DVD player with a $400 PS3 and WOW, what a difference! The PS3 upsamples SD DVDs amazingly well but they pale in comparison to a Blu-Ray movie. I have to whole-heartedly disagree with the "article". Saying upsampling DVD players will kill Blu-Ray is like saying Daewoo is going to kill Chevrolet.

                                          My mind is like an aluminum trap. Some things get caught in the trap, and some things bend the trap and get away.

                                          THANK YOU! Our first BR was a PS3; we got the 1st generation (20 GB) that is backwards compatible. That is one reason I said that Blu Ray would win-- you had serious gamers who now had a BR player and a free movie. They did the same thing in Europe (a free movie) when released there. People have to also realize they have to calibrate their higher end TVs to make it look the best possible. All I saw in the "article" is that he feels the entire process is too expensive. I live in the middle of nowhere, USA, and two of the three Wal-Marts have special Blu-Ray section. When major movies are released (like Iron Man) they actually move them to the front of the store.
