Ben you never commented on your incorrect prediction of Blu-Ray having a bad week last week. You obviously did not consider the heart of a bat. But honestly, I am a numbers guy, and I find it hard to believe that Blu-Ray has been the winner for half a year, more PS3’s are being bought, more Blu-Ray players are being bought, and yet the numbers for disc sales are not moving up. What’s the reason… price? Upscalers? Downloading? Or the mere fact that people are hesitant to buy something that though pronounced a winner, unproven and still not hitting its stride?
Its like the list of Blu-Ray movies to show off how great Blu-Ray is… most of those movies are not just old, but were some of the early Blu-Ray movies.
And finally, is it just me or are companies doing the Blu won, so I don’t need to worry about the war so just put some movie in Blu and people will buy it because its what they can only get, instead of trying to innovate the movies and add tons of extras and new ways to push the envelope.
