HD Dvd is dead in the water... Blu-Ray will have a limited life span like everything else. As I've stated before I am absolutely anticipating the day when all media is either a) downloaded directly to a storage device or b) all handled along the lines of on demand (but more like you buy a "lifetime" (so to speak) license to stream media directly to whatever device).
It still amazes me that we are actually purchasing physical media and using stand alone dvd players... that just still seems so outdated to me. I give blu-ray maybe a 8-10 year lifespan before the next great thing comes out and takes over? Anyone know how long ago DVDs 'officially' overtook VHS media? I'm starting to lose track but am guessing it was about 8 or 9 years ago now?
