If DVD Is Dead, What's Next?

uglysad writes "The Age has a piece discussing the fact that, from the home entertainment industry's standpoint, the DVD is dead. So what is next? From the article 'It will come as a shock to film fans who have spent their Christmases stocking up on their movie collections, but the technology industry is in agreement: the DVD is dead. Consumer electronics companies have begun to show off what they believe will be the next generation of home video technologies. But despite the common belief that the DVD is history, the industry is split over what the next step should be.'"

Since DVDs look absolutely fantastic on my 110" projection screen I don't see how they're going to make much improvement.

HDTV is 6 TIMES the resolution of DVDs. If you can't see the difference in a 6X resolution increase, you must be legally blind...

Seriously, the upgrade from VHS to DVDs was only about a 2X improvement, and people were constantly saying how much better DVDs looked.

I suspect you've never even seen HDTV content.

YEah, and Japan likes Minidisc a lot as well. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate Japan's reputation as being technology-forward.
