This guy is a nut. A Dual Layer BD costs like a dollar to make. He's saying that within three or four years 128 GB flash cards are going to cost that little?
What a moron.
TrentD @ Mar 25th 2008 4:28PM
Clarification - what I mean is that the cost to press the disc is around a dollar. This translates out to a $25-$40 MSRP.
Can you imagine what it would cost if a 128 GB Flash Card was even $5 cost to create? Nobody's spending $150 on a movie, THX guy.
Blake H @ Mar 25th 2008 4:35PM
Yeah a chief scientist for THX is definitely a "moron". I hear they just give that job away if you can pass an internet IQ test.
TrentD @ Mar 25th 2008 5:24PM
Blake,
Being book smart doesn't mean you're not a moron :)
Do you think that he's right about this? If he were talking about THX, I'd believe him, but this is out of his realm, apparently.
the_boo @ Mar 25th 2008 9:28PM
Being that THX is pretty much a huge joke that uses the same kinds of tactics as companies like Monster Cable to get people to spend more on products that are no better than any other I would imagine their "Chief Scientist" is probably actually a High School janitor in a lab coat.
If you don't believe me, do some research. For example, while many theaters are not THX certified they easily meet the spec, the owners just won't pay the $9000 per screen a year fee and buy a grossly overpriced crossover.
Also, he has a girls name.

yeah, this is definitely a case of someone with expertise in SOME field thinking that he has expertise in ALL fields. Which is usually never the way it works out. He's clearly uninformed.
