M$ Counting on HD-DVD's demise

[boweyang]

I didnt realize this until after I started my new job but I believe that downloadable movies will be here in less than 5 years. I work at Corning which right now are working on fiber optic cables like crazy. There are a bunch more details, but here is a summary of what I am taoking about. This may not hinder Blu-ray (I dont think it will) for a while, but if this format war does not end soon, we may see the end of Blu-ray.

WAIT, scratch that. Blu-ray will be here a good while simply because of the PS3 and HDDUD wont because it is not an availible medium for games on the 360. According to my theory, the only way they can make blu-ray possible on a xbox is if they introduce a new system (revolution, 720) or offer a drive as an addon, which if it cant use the hddvd addon for games, then the drive will also only play movies. Or even worse, they will use the high speed connect to simply make games downloadable in 5 to 25 minutes if they were 25 GB. But all of those ideas are bad ideas when you think of their reputation.

Anyway, I just want to get word out if anyone didnt know that high speed internet through fiber optics is coming faster than you may think.

I almost forgot, eventhough some of you may give me hate comments, id rather get honest comments than no comments on this issue.
