Another technology about to meet its death is the conventional HDD at the hand of Solid State Drives (SSD). The cost of SSDs is predicted to be at parity in 2011. Capacity is nearly there also with the first 1 TB SSD recently being released.

Do some research: - Upsampling dvd players are nice but are crummy looking compared to a blu-ray picture, plus hd sound on blu-ray kills dvd -if your paying $400 for a player and $40 for new releases you must: 1) live in the sticks away from any mainstream store or 2) be a really retarted shopper -downloads picture and sound cant measure up plus i for one dont want to have to plan to start downloading the movie hours ahead of when i want to watch it. - Get your facts right and stop bashing blu because you dont have one yet.

I watch more downloads than anything else now but if I want to see a really good film I'll rent it on blu-ray as the quality difference is huge. Over here in the UK a new release blu-ray will cost you £20-25, a standard DVD will be around £10-12 and a download is free! Cut the price and I'll buy them.

I got a Blu-Ray for Christmas 2008, which I have to admit - the graphics of it are amazing, the only downfall is the cost of the disc's.
Afterall, the cheapest Blu-Ray I've managed to buy is £16.79 - for HellBoy 2.
If the manufacturers want it to take off, lower the price of the players - like Sky have done with Sky HD and more people will buy them = more DVD sales, more DVD sales = lower prices.

I still think Blu-ray has a chance of survival. Yes downloads do look like they will eat into the Blu-Ray sales but at the end of the day a lot of people like collecting something physical which is not the case when downloading. Yeah Blu-Rays were expensive but so were DVDs when they first came out. To be honest I have only just started buying them recently since loads of DVDs are are £3-£5. Guess I am just cheap though!!

A comment on Fab's post. There are people who write that it is spelled as Blue-ray. I heard this is correct, but on packaging it got shortened as Blu-ray.
