RE: Netflix is the only buyer and HD-DVD is dead...

>>Eventually, everything has to move to blu-ray, what else is there? It's like vinyl and CDs in a way. As buyers buy new DVD players, they'll get blu-ray included.<<

:-) This is exactly what SACD and DVD-Audio supporters said about their respective formats. We've seen how that turned out.

Blu-ray appears to be destined for niche status just like all the rest of the recent physical media innovations. Mainstream consumers will stick to DVD like they did to CD until downloading of video content becomes more practical, then DVD will die off like CD is dying off.
