As for any “high-def” (not necessarily HD
in and of itself) content, I foresee HD will
be provided as a [more-or-less] streaming
content. On the other hand, when it comes to
actual DVDs, I think Blue-Ray will take the
market. What's the difference between the
two? Mainly, politics and money.

It makes me wonder if Sony really knew more
than we've given them credit for when they
released the PS3. There's been many discussions
about if the corporate heads of Sony were
doing drugs when they packed the PS3 with
so many advanced features that no one could
afford to buy the console. However……

Where the rubber meets the road will be seen
in your local video rental stores and places
like NetFlix. Right now there's just one little
wall with high def content. Within that little
wall you have HD and Blue-Ray. In time you will
see that little wall start taking up more and
more space in the store replacing basic regular
DVDs. When that does start happening (and we all know it will, eventually), you will see Blue-Ray offering more movie selections than will HD.

The HD format will belong to satellite and cable providers, while the DVD sales/rental industry will go to the Blue-Ray format. I have this crazy feeling deep inside that Sony has known this all along, and the 'PS3-failure' will become our Blue-Ray DVD player of choice … not to mention we'll get an excellent gaming console thrown in for no extra charge. — Mark

So glad I bought a PS3, I knew Blu-ray was going to win this war.
