Homo erectus

Does the author consider this? Has the author considered the fact that new digital films truly make for perfect HD home translations as compared to old films? I think these homo erectus need to be explored before making such statements. Cost? My first DVD player was as expensive as my PS3 and it didnt play games, music, and streaming video. Sony announced that next years players will cost 200 and under. Did the author take into account the CD Burners cost over 1000 dollars when they first came out and were used by hospitals and government agencies? History should be taken into account, was this the case in the authors research for posting this article? I will not speculate on this too much because speculation is for those who dont homo erectus being eating crow. I will say that the 5 year mark the author states is within the timeframe that other speculators assume it will take the PS3 to sell nearly 40 million units. If players drop under 200 dollars by 2009, one would assume the momentum for Blue-ray would be hard to stop. Did the author think about simple facts as these? I rarely comment on articles as these, but I didnt see much forethought in this article and it makes me wonder about just why these things were said. I understand the authors arguements. The point I believe he was getting across is this: 1 With DVD player high saturation and the high cost of getting a blu-ray player, titles, and a home theater setup that takes advantage of the tech, its seems to be marketed for to a more a/v proficient customer. 2 As technology advances more and more, whats to say that a more advanced and higher capacity media wont come down the pipeline within a few years? Will blu-ray have the staying power? If blu-ray stands a chance, especially in the current financial down-turn, the prices on the players and media needs to drop sub 200 quickly as well as the price and depth of available titles. Prices will also have to drop on LCD and plasma TVs to give the technology a chance. how long did DVDs players to drop in price? My first player was 399 back in 1 Now you can almost pick one up anywhere for Blu-Ray won the war, now movie studios will produce an optional Blu-Ray DVD. How long did Tapes take to fall off the shelf when both Tapes and DVDs were being distibuted? Everyone is still watching DVDs. Once their copy of the DVD is worn and they cant watch it anymore, theyll see that the price of a Blu-Ray has dropped and want to see that Classic movie in a sharper TV. You keep seeing Disney Remastering their movies for DVDs with sound and picture quality. Now they can take the next step to an HD quality. What next? 3D? TI makes a DLP 3D tv for 5grand. You can go to IMAX theaters and watch movies in 3D now using Polarized lenses. Superman Returns was one example. Blu-Ray is NOT doomed. This is only the beginning and youre setting yourself up for failure. The main premise and observations are In addition one must note that Moores law strikes the demand is for small form factors with huge capacity and while Blu-Ray has capacity its physical form factor is almost 30 years and that is a history of technology archives are weighted with examples so that you can count on it! A final observation: Many who post in here have few qualms about dropping money on it is good to remember that they are not homo erectus Average Joe 38; Im on par with everything duoeos said. I created a CNET account JUST TO REPLY TO THIS ABSURD ARTICLE!!! As someone else mentioned, from VHS to DVD, how long was the adoption period? Every new technology takes months/years for everyone to adopt it. This is NORMAL!! I dont think thats a relevant point.
