Yeeaa Squigle I see you obviously dont work in the retail world or have any contact with Toshiba reps or Sony rep.
You saying that BD has no where to go? what! this is the same way DVD started slow and steady. this is an infant technology to the public. when dvd came out the prices where the same as BD is now..
I remeber buying a Pioneer DVD player for $449 CND in 1998 i think it was. and movies were $39 CND.
People have a curious fashion about them that having a physical tangable item to keep there movies is what they have to have and not just anything tangable it has to be the right size too.. why do you think they haven't brought out Movies on SD cards? it would be ALOT cheaper to load a 8Gb flash card with an HD video than it is to make DVD's. its because no one would want to have a collection on flash card.. i wouldn't thats for sure..
Anyway you should actually get out in the world before saying a technology isn't viable or going anywhere, last time I checked Bestbuy and the video rental stores have doubled the BD shelves in BD titles since HD-DVD went away.
