I’ve been quietly responding to questions from friends, for about 3 years time now, that Blu-Ray was dead on arrival. The victim of at least a 2 year delay to market resulting from a Beta vs. VHS like industry dispute. This historic lesson having been apparently unlearned by the major manufacturers, it was compounded by increased broadband infrastructure and delivery of video content via stream or file either at no charge = Hulu.com…Or at no additional charge; examples include your Netflix subscription via laptop, other device like your Wii, PS3, Xbox, Roku or dare I say your Comcast/DirecTV/Dish set top box using on-demand or time-shifting DVRs.
