Blu-Ray is dead

Stick a fork in it.

Seriously it is. First off the content is too too too expensive and shows no sign of coming down in price and if anything it's increased in price for some titles. You need new equipment both player and TV to even use the stuff which while coming down in price are no where near low enough to get people buying on mass in a recession.

The new format, flash media will be up to par by the time people are into wasting money again on luxury items they could do with out. Already you have one company starting to play with idea of flash media. That's just the first and that's today. What will you see in 2 years? So to me that means all that Blu-Ray will be useless. At least though you could copy, illegal in some cases, the Blu-Ray content to a flash device. Something you really couldn't do going from VHS to DVD as VHS quality sucked to much. So does all this Java stuff mean anything? I just don't see it. Blu-Ray is like the Laser Disc. It was cool and neat if you could afford it but it never really took off.
