successor to blu-ray might be blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

Yeah... M$ thinks the same. That's why they back HD DVD imho.
About a year ago, the HD DVD was almost dead. For sure. Then M$ joined...

It won't take long. However, as far as I'm concerned, the networks now just aren't ready to stream 1080p signals on-demand to everybody in the developed world. So it will take some time first...
And I'm not so sure if it'll be that successful at first. People want to own the movie. It won't be the same...

Exactly. It won't be the same.

Bigger is not always better but you can never have too much HD space.
