So Blu-Ray is here to stay. At least for the next 6-7 years.

Now thats some news for me.

@shadowcon, just4kix
Thanks for sharing your views. I understand why flash will not take over optical discs.

As ShAdOwCoN also wrote, flash media is prone to erasure because of spike. You can also accidently overwrite the media. The cost of flash media is much more than discs.

That plus the reason that billions have gone into research and development of the next generation media, make it improbable that anything will replace BD for the time being.

Blu-ray's gonna tale some time to pick up in a price-repsective country like India, 12k for a for a Blu-ray player/burner just doesn't seem feasible at the moment for most ppl

a blu-ray player is not just a standalone development.you will definitely need a full-hd capable tv to enjoy it fully.so it comes to a total of nearly 1lac for a blu ray experience!!!

I though my posts were deleted.
Thanks, for clearing

@Gary4gar, This was done because the thread was slowly going in a different direction and I felt that the new discussion merited a separate thread.

@all, Continue discussion on pure Blu-Ray and HD related discussion here. Swing all posts related to rajan's Blu-Ray HTPC to the new thread. Thanks.
