Blu-ray: October 2008 Archives
ZDNet's Storage Bits blogger Robin Harris says he never predicted back when HD-DVD and Blu-ray were duking it out for supremacy in high-definition video playback that both would lose. Blu-ray has only 4 percent of the market, and it's not looking good.
But that's what he's saying now.
Among other things, Harris cites licensing fees that are huge both in number and size, high production costs for discs and my favorite — cheap up-converting DVD player-recorders that make standard-definition video look extremely good on high-definition television sets.
