Nice outline of reasons why blu-ray isn't catching on so quickly.

BR players are dropping in price quite quickly (we are seeing players in Australia less than AU$400)

In car market is insignificant in the video and movie market, it is really an audio market where the likes of iPods are taking over from CDs. This has never been a DVD market...

As prices of stand alone players drop the relevance of consoles having players drops significantly.

Camcorder storage is a competition between solid state and hard drives to replace tape. Optical media camcorders have had trivial impact in the market.

PC Backups are quickly outgrowing single layer DVDs and no one trusts dual layer DVD to long term data storage, even single layer is doubted by many. I can shoot over 8GB of RAW files in half an hour.

Business backups have rarely been done to DVD media, its either tape or hard drive for the most part.

That article is a waste of electrons.

Sony is gonna now exclusively bend you over for a bunch of old (Sony Picture Studio?) titles youve already purchased several times and then do it all over again in a couple of years.. if you let them. Screw that. And to hell with Warner, too.

Sell outs.
