Comments on: Samsung Director of CE Says Blu-Ray To Fade By 2013 http://www.sonyinsider.com/2008/09/03/samsung-director-of-ce-says-blu-ray-to-fade-by-2013/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:17:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sean Hirsch http://www.sonyinsider.com/2008/09/03/samsung-director-of-ce-says-blu-ray-to-fade-by-2013/comment-page-1/#comment-29179 Sean Hirsch Thu, 28 Jul 2011 03:45:00 +0000 http://www.sonyinsider.com/?p=1806#comment-29179 Blu Ray seems to be caught in a 3 front war. And it's losing on all sides. (1) It's not pushing the old format out. DVDs remain good enough for most people. (2) The consumer can buy an upgrader for $70. and avoid the agony of replacing his dvds. (A one time fee sure beats a perpetual fee!) (3) Downloading and streaming are getting big now. True. The quality isn't quite so great. But it's a major convenience. Blu Ray claims quality. But it also presents unneeded expenses, and it presents a lot of problems to the consumer. And it's an overall unnecessary and expensive inconvenience. By the confession of many Blu Ray owners, it doesn't even pay to get a Blu Ray of something that was filmed before 2002. And many Blu Ray owners end up just buying dvds again. Blu Ray seems to be caught in a 3 front war. And it’s losing on all sides.
