Alright, let\'s say Blu-Ray becomes the main stay high definition format. What do you think the disc will be priced at? Anything over $25 / $30 is simply to much for the average consumer and we all know they will be more expensive than the average DVD, which is at this point, around $20 - $25.

One thing to look at is how many PS3s will be sold by 2008.  Then how many of those users will have migrated to HDTVs by then.

I\'m guessing disc prices will first be around $30.  Less on the net.  DVDs also cost $30 on release in 1997.  I even remember Suncoast and their ripoff, $34.99 price tags.

Question for most of you.. When did you buy your first DVD player?  Our household got one in late 1999.

Probably closer to 2001. That\'s in the house. For me, I still play DVDs on my Xbox. (Gave up using the PS2 for anything like that.)

I got the first one back in late 2000.  Around Oct. 2000, that time I was trying to get my hand on PS2.  But its sold out many places.  So, my brother goes and bought a stand a lone dvd player costing $250.

Oh my...this got me thinking. Will I FINALLY be able to burn movies longer than 2 hours in my G4 Mac? (I do wedding and vacation videos on the side).

Blu-ray....hmmmm.

And with that note, if it is released to early and the public is not ready to embrace it, it will be dead in the water , like Beta.

Yeah true,.But the difference is that people wont be buying BR players as stand alone devices.

They will own one just buy wanting to own a PS3.So if PS3 does well, millions of people will already own a BR player automatically despite that they wouldnt have cared about a BR player.

Some of them will give the BR a chance even out of curiosity since they will have the ability to try it.

Things would have been different though if the only way to own a BR player was to buy an expensive stand alone device.That would have surely made people hesitate to buy it.

Atleast thats what Sony hopes

That\'s a myth. Beta was very successful in Asia and is still used in many of the broadcast studios (even now) all over the world.

THat\'s what I said.

"Are you sure you want it that long? That\'s a lot of tripod shots."

And her reply was "No. You\'re going to carry the camera around. You will get videos of all my relatives. I\'m paying you for the whole day."

Yes sir. I know people that still use beta. My gf\'s step father actually bought movies in beta up until a year ago or so. The quality is better than that of VHS if i remember correctly. I have the original starwars movies on beta so ive been looking to bust that out for a while.

And VCD is popular in Asia, doesn\'t mean crap about the American market.
