According to the Wall Street jounal, the big shots have wanted DVD to die for
quite some time, as it would be cheaper to sell movies over the net.
But nobody wants to watch movies on their computer.
Thats where all of the net capabilities in Blu players are coming from.
Studios used to be scared of DOWNLDS, but are more comfortable with it these days, something to do with 80% more profit, by one estimate.
So they are cheerleading the death of DVD.
iN THEIR concept BLU will be for collectors, most rental (or perhaps all) will be downloads, cable, etc.
In other words DVD is DEAD.
