BLU-RAY PROMOTIONAL POINTS? - Blu-ray Forum

blu-rayPR · 03-18-2005, 03:57 AM

I am on a board at one of the Studio's to make Blu-ray the next format. If anybody has any facts of why Blu-ray should be the winning format, please email me links, comments, etc. I was involved in start-up of DVD, so I truly believe it is the way to go, because it will be better for everybody, remember Beta... OUCH!

LIFEBOAT - That's for your earlier feedback.

Storage

Blu-Ray has an advantage in storage but that really is only going to come into play for BD-R and BD-RE. For movie distribution the extra space doesn't really come into play. Studios aren't going to start packing a bunch of movies on disc because they can unless we're talking about series like the Sopranos and more. That's only like less than %10 of the market. Not something you can really sell someone on in most circumstance.

Computer Companies

Forget the computer companies. I work in the industry and if doesn't matter one hoot that Apple, Dell and HP are support BD. These people order parts and put'em in a box. They do design but on a very small scale. Everything they do now is generally outsourced..they manufacture nothing. Thus I roll my eyes when this is brought up. We have to extrapolate then needs of the computing industry with that of movie distribution. If I'm releasing a movie on disc I'm not overly concerned with it's application as a computer storage device. In fact I may wish that my intellectual property is NOT on a computer for fear of piracy.

PS3

Do not bring up the PS3 it'll only make you look like a fool. The PS3 is not due to 2H 2006. No one knows what it's going to cost. And it really doesn't help your point.

True no one knows for certain yet the PS3's pricetag but I believe it'll be between $299-399... not a penny more. The inclusion of Blu-ray is not reason enough for Sony to price it any higher as it needs to stay competitive with the next Microsoft and Nintendo game platforms. The PS2 played a big role in DVDs success and once again IMO it'd be foolish to discount the PS3's role in Blu-ray's success.

Do bring up the technical merits of BD that every studio should be keen on.

The BD Player may offer flash memory for storing just about whatever you want. There's even support for Hard Drives built right in.

In short BD is a tour de force that your studio, whether it be a game or movie studio, should be looking at and imagining the possibilities.
