Blu-ray = a newer BETA video cassette
I really don't see why we care. Blu-ray is going to end up in the rubbish tip, right next to BETA video cassettes... funny that Sony made both... this may be leading to a completely unrelated issue, but I think that Sont's problem is that they want to be the big person. They will not allow anyone else to produce Blu-ray, just like they did with BETA. With VHS, anyone was allowed to make them, so the competition came out, and it became more affordable to make the VHS discs.
