Default Blu-ray's life expectancy extended past 2017

Blu-ray must be catching on, just yesterday downloads were supposed to have Blu-ray dead by dawn.

I will definitely go along with that. My connection is a very good one and it requires a lot of trouble to go to that length plus the heavy file sizes. Besides I am one of those who likes the optical media in my hand rather then a file on a computer.

I'm rocking dial up so any kind of streaming is out of the question at 2-12 bytes a second. Blu forever. That's my HD and I think it would be wrong on many different levels to make downloads the norm. Highspeed is unavailable to us in my area. Even with satellite they don't recommend their internet where I live.

Default Blu-Ray To Reach 74% Market Share 2017

Is it just me or is this guy not taking in a couple of factors into account.

Yep cause player prices will drop so low DVD players will stop being sold and every TV is HD these days.
