Default If Blu-ray Is Dying, Why Are Disc Sales Soaring?

....

Does this mean Blu-ray has a future after all? It certainly appears so. Lower
prices may be helping. Many Blu-ray players are now under $200, and Blu-ray
movies sell for a little as $10. The HD format displays a prettier picture --
albeit not dramatically so -- than the HD content delivered by video-on-demand
and online movie download and streaming services.

You can't be serious? Not dramatically so? Well...maybe if you are watching
it via a composite connection on an SD television. For me on a 58" Plasma
the difference between OTA Network Broadcast HD and a Blue Ray disc is night
and day, especially when it comes to any difficult material.

The author's (Jeff Bertolucci) opinion, not necessarily mine.
