Bad Signs For Blu-ray

Posted by timothy on from the anguish-languish dept.

Ian Lamont writes "More than six months after HD-DVD gave up the ghost, there are several signs that Sony's rival Blu-ray format is struggling to gain consumer acceptance. According to recent sales data from Nielsen, market share for Blu-ray discs in the U.S. is declining, and Sony and its Blu-ray partners are trying several tactics to boost the format — including free trial discs bundled into magazines and cheap Blu-ray players that cost less than $200."

    Blah Blah Blah.

    If you have a decent HDTV, HD will look so much nicer on it that you will only want to buy HD versions.

    I don't know a single person that has seen movies on my TV in HD that didn't say "This looks great!"

    I'm so sick and tired of all you fucking armchair market experts trying to tell everyone what "MOST PEOPLE" do, think, and care about. Go fuck your righteous self.
