Default If it ain't broke, dont fix...er replace it.

I feel that blue ray is still a long ways aways even though PS3 and PSP are using the medium. Remember gameboy Cartridge, they will just be like those. i.e. I don't see gameboy Cartridges becoming the standard of digital recordings. There is so many hypes about products during their FIRST release that it is amazing. Of course, if you are Bill Gates, you would own a 3000 USD Blu-Ray recorder 'only' to record their favor shows on tv, but not anyone would have 3000USD to spare on a video recorder.

Personally, I feel that the new DVD/HDD recorders for HDTV, or even just VHS for Standard tv are already good enough to do the job. There is no point in buying blu-ray or HD-DVD products just yet. Even IF they have a blu-ray recorder for my PC, I would still not buy it just yet, because I don't really know what I want to burn on a 25GB disc when my PC's hard drive only has about 60-100GB of data at any one-time. Plus would you really want to wait 10 hours just so you can burn a single disc? The DVD market has not really mature to the point of CD-R as, so there is still some expanding space for DVD.

On an other point, many major PC games developer have not adopt to the DVD format... and you know why.. because CD-R are already saturated in the market, and they don't want to lose out on those with only CD-R on their PC. Eventually, we will see 20+x DVD recorders, and only THEN would we see SOME markets for blu-ray or HD-DVD.. Until then... there is really no point in buying any of them just yet... The battle between blu-ray and HD-DVD only slows the process...but then the winner of the duel would still have to wait a LONG time before the market adopts.
