Blu-ray (sony) Claims That Dvd's Will Be Dead In 3 Years !
 

Sony Can Suck C#@k!! I Don't Know One Person That Is Going To Start Their Collection Over And Replace All Their Dvd's. It Took People Along Time To Give Up Video Tapes And It Will Take A Hell Of A Lot Longer For People To Switch Solely To Hd Format. Those Pompous Greedy Bastards Need To Lose The Format War And Console War Altogether!

duly noted

Blu-ray will rule the market much like Beta and MiniDiscs.

Sony said the same thing about MD's.

Only if every single title ever released on dvd gets a HD release. I can believe the time will come when titles are no longer released on dvd but that's more than 3 years off.

When I read that article, it sounds like they are saying that Blu-ray will have destroyed HD in three years, not DVD.

Nah, let there be a thread here as well. It should get some interesting responses. After all, if the quote is really what they meant, it would affect DVD (well, not really, because it's ridiculous to believe that DVD would be overtaken in 3 years, but still...).

Anyway, as I said in the other thread, I think this was taken out of context, and what the guy really meant was that BD would be the only HD disc format in 3 years. If things continue to play out as they are now, that is likely.

Worth the repost just for this. :lol:

Even Sony knows that standard DVD will not be defeated in 3 years. Probably not at all by Blu-ray. I think Sony is more focused on defeating HD DVD and establishing Blu-ray as a strong niche product to compliment their DVD sales.

noticreign is a rather shouty kind of guy.

I think this might be a title to a book, movie, or one man show. Every first letter is capitalized.
Actually, I can appreciate that. It takes a lot more effort than capitalizing every letter. Welcome to the forum!:clap:

The forum automatically does this when a post is submitted in all caps.

I bet Sony's next bold statement will be......UMD will be taking over the universe next!

I think that Sony purposefully left it ambiguous to inflame HD DVD supporters. Like most of their comments on the format war.

I will piss on Sony with noticreign.

And DAT, and CD Singles, and Super CD, and...

Wow, I never considered myself a JSP. However, lately I've been watching The Amazing Race using my TV antenna and I've used an iPOD to watch another TV show. I haven't been bothered by the poor picture quality at all! Yes, I've found it's the content I'm actually enjoying. A fuzzy picture or a tiny screen might not be the perfect way to get the information, but I'm oddly satisfied. Furthermore, DVD is great, but upon reflection, I've discovered it was the durability of disc storage over tape and not picture quality that was a compelling reason for shifting from tape ten years ago.

Sony should do a bit of reseach before they make outrageous statements. I don't think their future is as bright as the hyped software sales numbers might have us believe. I am certain the vast majority of consumers will be satisfied with standard definition DVD and iPOD broadcasts of their movies and shows for a long time.

<shrug> Sony can say anything they want.

As long as I have a working dvd player, dvd's will still be available to me to watch. It does not matter how many years have gone by that HD/BluRay have been replaced themselves by something newer.

EZ-DVDs will replace rentals and all DVDs in the next 24 hours!!!!!!

Exactly. I think what Sony is saying is that they expect to be selling more Blu-Ray than regular DVD in 3 years. All of the dvd's that people own today will play perfectly in the fully backwards compatible blu-ray players.

It was nice that this was moved here but ...
