Are "downloads" really that much of a concern?

Cool. Can't wait till Bull-ray dies.

you know whats bad is that I am actually seeing hd-dvd blogs and hd-dvd diehards actaully saying that they will tell their friends, family, people in stores, strangers walking down the street, etc. that downloads are better then the "hard copies" for HDM and that they should now go with downloads since the "superior" format lost the "war".....just boggles my mind reading some of this stuff.....

w_tanoto · 02-17-2008, 01:15 AM

when BD dies, I am going to support terabyte disc (hologram)

xwingsct · 02-17-2008, 01:19 AM

Wow... sooner than I thought.
I thought it was gonna be at least a week from now.
Even though the coffin was already sealed air tight with the the nails it got.

Now let's hope the price of the Bluray players come down so it will go main stream faster. I'm sick and tired of long wait on my Netflix Queue.

I would love to see the day when Walmart have all Bluray in the giant Bin where it said 2 for $11 like they have with DVD right now.

Blu boy · 02-17-2008, 01:39 AM

face it hd downloads are next. in 15 years or so hd downloads will replace blu ray by then dvd will be long gone bluray will have had its time to shine. enjoy blu ray for now in 15 years im downloading my movies

tntkain · 02-17-2008, 01:39 AM

downloads are not a threat. there are too many people that don't even have the internet or if the do it is just dial up

Slackr89 · 02-17-2008, 03:11 AM

i want discs not gigabytes. i will never support downloads.

Monty22001 · 02-17-2008, 03:16 AM

I am unbelievably tired of their predictions already.

They FAILED at predicting trends, and now here they go again! Amazing losers that just can't shut up or go away.

BLU for Blue · 02-17-2008, 03:23 AM

I'll only download with a digital copy from a Blu ray.

Tim Dawes · 02-18-2008, 04:18 AM

i can tell you, everybody I know, whether they download movies or not, likes to have DVDs in their collection. It's like having a big library

It's also impractical to download a *for example* 25gb high def movie, imagine the storage you'd need for the collections some of you guys have! We have about 600 SD dvds at home and the storage for those would be too much!

IvanDrago · 02-19-2008, 04:11 AM

Did I miss something? When did the vast majority of Americans get high speed 6mb internet connections? When did we become Korea?

no, it is just the last thing that BD haters/HD DVD lovers have to hang onto. It is the scortched earth policy. If I can't have it, no one can. If BD loses to DL then we are all losers except just me.
