It's about time. It is now morally safe of the last of the HD DVD holdouts to find some peace and come into the water...
My BSG:TCS is shipped, be here tomorrow...
OOOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

...


I smell another MFM comment! Surely, this makes it clear that Blu-ray is clearly doomed! Doomed, I say, doomed...
"You see this is what I don't get."

You should have just stopped there....you don't get it. In your twisted little world, if HD-DVD would have won the format war, DVD would be in a big hurt but because your beloved format lost, well, nothing can dethrone DVD...meanwhile, blu-ray continues to increase as DVD decreases, just because it isn't increasing as fast as your masterful economic mind thinks it should doesn't mean it will not eventually overtake the old SD formats.

The only thing that could keep blu-ray disc from accomplishing that is some other blu-ray content physical media, 'cause the retailers ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANOTHER FORMAT WAR ANYTIME SOON. You don't get business, at all....
I think my meaning has always been perfectly clear.

Blu-ray is a niche format destined for a relatively short life.
It absolutely is not 'the next dvd' - which has always been my point in this.

Blah, blah, blah...you've been wrong and you'll continue to be wrong...unfortunately, we all have to waste bandwidth downloading your wrongness with each of these blog posts....

A new cool feature for any blog would be customizable comment filters, so say I never want to have to waste bandwidth on another MFM comment again, I simply set my filter to be "where user != 'Multi-format-mayhem' "

That would be awesome...
MFM, you're a pathetic joke. All trends point towards healthy blu-ray growth, even in tough economic conditions and your response? "It's not good enough cause I said so..." or "download rentals did a trillion dollars and therefore blu-ray can suck it..." getting old...tired...and simply takes up unnecessary bytes on some computer...not to mention the unnecessary bandwidth it takes to download your worthless drivel...

Nothing you do or say can alter reality...blu-ray is doing fine and will continue to do so...

MFM, where is the counter? How is this a sign that Blu is done for? Come on...I can't wait to hear it!

Maybe you can compare blu-ray sales increases to car rentals....
3.1 million x roughly $24/unit sold = $74,400,000 in 6 months, and that is an increase in sales for the blu-ray market. Now since you think blu-ray ought to be governed by relativity, that is relative to the price of DVD, of course you'd think that stinks but fortunately for the business world, you're not in charge, see what's important to business is what is going to make money in the future, and trends that are pointing up is what business want to have in their future, so sure blu-ray isn't overpowering the DVD establishment just yet, but market growth is evident, and that's the key...
I forgot to mention all the extended edition episodes...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
