Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Yeah.
Some of us did warn this would be the case and for some time too.
Of course the zealot Blu-ray fanclub (taking their cue from the significant PS3 game console fanbase) did nothing but howl us down.
It's now pretty obvious.
Blu-ray simply cannot grow fast enough nor penetrate the mass-market quickly enough before the next tech establishes itself in that mass-market.
It'll take about 3 - 5yrs (according to my ISP fibre to the cabinet is going to happen across the UK for most of the population in 5yrs).
Blu-ray will be almost 8yrs old by then and still it will have failed to dislodge DVD by then.
All too little too late.
Great if you accept that and treat it for the 'next laser disc' it really is, pretty cr@p if you swallowed the lies and BS of the fanclub who pretended it would just roill in & 'become the next dvd'.
