If DVD Is Dead, What's Next?

Posted by Zonk on from the holographically-projected-jurassic-park dept.

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.'"

    No, you get it right.

    CONCORDE: Message for you, sir.
    [fwump]
    LANCELOT: Concorde! Concorde, speak to me! "To whoever finds
    this note, I have been imprisoned by my father, who wishes me to
    marry against my will. Please, please, please come and rescue me.
    I am in the tall tower of Swamp Castle." At last! A call, a cry
    of distress! This could be the sign that leads us to the Holy
    Grail! Brave, brave Concorde! You shall not have died in vain!
    CONCORDE: Uh, I'm-I'm not quite dead, sir.
    LANCELOT: Well, you shall not have been mortally wounded in
    vain!
    CONCORDE: Uh, I-I think uh, I could pull through, sir.
    LANCELOT: Oh, I see.
