The End of DVDs?

Well, as someone else pointed out earlier, the formats are too similar. If you'll remember the difference between audio cassette and laser disc were night and day. The clarity, and ability to skip tracks were never seen before. With blu-ray you are getting a slight improvement in clarity, which is largely dependent on your television, and looking at music as an example; look at iTunes or Mp3 players in general. Compact media storage units are the next step, logically. I'm sure blu-ray will gain in popularity, but I'm not sure if it will get footing before portable movie media storage units.

I can still remember in the late nineties when people would predict that dvds would become the standard within a year or so. . . It takes a while for a media to become "standard" even going from VHS to dvd. Considering that most homes do not have HD televisions and that some even rebel against the dvd format, it may be a while before blu-ray is as appealing to the average consumer as it is to early adopters.
