st is such an eletist tech group, its not even funny. - tRuMaN May 18, 11:32 19
- You're probably right that death is not exactly knocking at Blu-ray's door, but... - Dr.Vermin May 18, 11:48 1
  - sure, but telecom companies have been worried about people dropping landlines for, what, 2 decades since cell phones came out - tRuMaN May 18, 11:53
- 50 years? I would estimate that within 15 years the majority of rentals will be viewed online/streaming/downloaded as opposed to going to a dvd shop. -- nm - Loyola May 18, 11:46
- The CD is already on the way out - video is just a matter of scale. -- nm - Reagen May 18, 11:41 6
  - I agree with this. I haven't bought a physical CD in prob....oops, I just remembered I bought one last month. - JaxSean May 18, 11:44 5
    - Not me. I have purchased a grand total of 1 song in MP3. - Spawn May 18, 11:46 1
      - i typically get the cd then encode it in a much higher - tRuMaN May 18, 11:55
    - What's interesting to me is that we took a downgrade in quality with the mp3. - Reagen May 18, 11:45 2
      - yeah, that always got me, sure we can buy it in digital format, but we lose all that quality. -- nm - tRuMaN May 18, 11:48
      - it's the same dynamic playing out of quality versus convenience -- nm - znufrii May 18, 11:48
- I'm not sure why any of that data suggests TT is tech elistist. - musubi May 18, 11:37 6
  - that was more of a truthfull statement to get people's attention really -- nm - tRuMaN May 18, 11:38 5
    - I still fail to see your main point, and your little subterfuge doesn't help. - musubi May 18, 11:40 4
      - i'm saying that this argument is pointless. dvd/bluray/whatever will be here for another decade, - tRuMaN May 18, 11:47 3
        
        the whole video market. -- nm - tRuMaN May 18, 11:54 1
        
        meant this to be a reply to znu, sorry -- nm - tRuMaN May 18, 11:54
        
        majority of which market? the entire home video market? or the hidef subset of that market? -- nm - znufrii May 18, 11:50
- Don't forget that some of the scummier internet providers are putting caps on the amount you can download in a given month. -- nm - Don Homer May 18, 11:34
- but what do I know, i only worked in the telecom field for 4 years. -- nm - tRuMaN May 18, 11:33
Betamax will get its big break any day now! -- nm - znufrii May 18, 11:22 13
- screw betamax. 8mm is the only way to watch a movie -- nm - decline May 18, 11:24 12
  - This reminds me: ST Poll: First medium you saw porn on? - Mel Profit May 18, 11:32 11
    - Hustler, I think. -- nm - Reagen May 18, 11:44 2
      - a 70s episode of Club really...really opened my eyes. -- nm - Mel Profit May 18, 11:47 1
        
        or something like it. - Mel Profit May 18, 11:47
    - Non Magazine. -- nm - Mel Profit May 18, 11:43
    - *tries to fine tune channel 2 to pick up the Playboy Channel in squiglypurplevision* -- nm - JaxSean May 18, 11:42
    - scrambled tv -- nm - decline May 18, 11:40

    - The old fashioned magazine. (nm) - musubi May 18, 11:38
    - vhs -- nm - Don Homer May 18, 11:34
    - besides glossy paper, or purple squiggly? - znufrii May 18, 11:34
    - Mime -- nm - Epiphany May 18, 11:34
The a/v quality of downloads concerns me greatly, as does the vast bandwidth issues. -- nm - Don Homer May 18, 11:20 3
- I think the overall segment of the audience that would be affected by these concerns is relatively small. - znufrii May 18, 11:28
- Unbox is downloading HD now. Quality is fine and speed is surprising. Price is the biggest issue at the moment. -- nm - David May 18, 11:26 1
  - Fine isn't good enough though, relative to how great some blu-rays look and sound. - Don Homer May 18, 11:30
Is there any doubt on the outcome of this? - Mel Profit May 18, 11:19 3
- There will always be a market for archival video, although it will be forever shrinking. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 18, 11:46
- Before Stewie shows up? -- nm - JaxSean May 18, 11:24 1
  - Heh, I was just going to post: "and Stewie in 5,4,3,2,1......" -- nm - Trish May 18, 11:27
