That's what I was thinking!

I picked Paramount. The reason being... They're dumb enough to try to push their downloads along with Microsoft. And in order to do so, they'll probably stop production on DVD's... But that's if downloads take off which I know they wont.

Already happened in Japan in 2007. USA can't be that far behind (about 2 years).

Never, well never is a long time. I'll put it this way, BD and DVD will live together for a long time, probably until a new format makes its debut.

...

BD+ and varients on it may virtually put an end to disc bootlegging, but it does little to stop theater bootlegging. Hopefully by then the comparative quality of theater bootleg vs BD would just turn people off to it.

I'd say Sony because they started the format, but it wont happen in a long long time. People have invested a ton of money in there dvd collections.

It took vhs almost 20 years to drop VHS , so this thread is a bit premature. But knowing this Disney was the last hold out as they had classics on vhs. I believe the incredibles was the last one released on vhs, so Disney wouldnt be one.

VHS took a long time to die even though it was a dead end format with no future generations of hardware to keep it alive. It will be even longer, if ever, for DVD because it is part of the same 12cm polycarbinate family as the CD, which is still with us. So if it works in your next gen player, don't count it out.

Lee Christie · 01-23-2008, 04:35 PM

Of course they will ALL drop DVD, even if it takes 15 or 20 years (my hope is sooner than that though, maybe 5-10, but I'm dreaming)

Exactly WHEN is happens will be determined by sales. When it becomes more profitable to make just Blu-ray because DVD sales have dropped to 1% and they have to sell brand new DVDs in the bargain bucket at 99 cents or whatever, at least 1 company will shut down their DVD-making.

I fully understand that it wont be any time soon, probably not for at least a decade, but those who think it will NEVER happen, as in NEVER EVER, I don't agree.
