RE: DVD sales shrunk in 2008 for the first year since the format's launch

"DVD isn't going away, and Blu-Ray will remain a niche."

I dont think that is true. Blu-Ray will remain a niche as long as it is priced like a niche product. Once volume brings down the price, it will overtake SD dvds, and SD disks will go away. By then, everyone but grandma will have a HDTV, and will demand higher resolution. It happened to VHS, and it will happpen to SD dvd. (Yes, I know you can still get VHS here and there, but why??)
