1. Comment - Analyst: Blu-ray prices will nosedive for the holidays

   (Nov 9, 2008 - 8:07 PM)

   Its just like everyone else points out, hard disk storage is just better value/faster etc.... When DVD burner hit the market it was great, a couple of discs and you could backup your entire hard disk.... these days it would take 20 50GB discs to back a 1TB drive.... 20 50GB discs cost more than a 1TB drive... until some breakthrough is made (holographic discs??) the new media are hard disks...

4. Comment - Blu-ray market share creeps up - or down - to 8 percent

   (Sep 25, 2008 - 11:15 PM)

   Whats with the negativity? 8% seems quite good since the format only became the single HD format from January this year. Just 9 months... As people steadily buy new HD TVs/AV-AMPs to replace there existing entertainment systems then its automatic that the only option is HD media. Why would anybody buy DVD media? Its finished. I have a very modest collection of 50 or so DVD movies... they all look and sound like something on a youtube site compared to BD movies at 1080P. The biggest hurdle is the prices... but as BD devices continue to be released prices will drop accordingly.... for both players and media.
   
   Niche market? for now maybe... but it took DVD about 4-5 years to kill of VHS.

   The bonus of BD is that at least your DVD media is still playable and upscalable.. something DVD could not do for VHS.

5. Comment - New Windows Genuine authenticator can blank desktop backgrounds

   The only benefit is some applications require WGA in order to be downloaded and installed. IE 7 had this requirement when it was released... after a year or so WGA was no longer required and it became an optional available installation in the auto updates.
