Personally I don't believe this Blu-Ray stuff is going to be used for movies. Sony is making the same mistake they made with MD's. They are the only ones with the rights to the technology. I think DVDs will continue to thrive cause now many people me included have a huge DVD library that is bigger then my VHS libraray. Plus companies know that people won't switch incase they adapt too. In the beginning no DVD players supported VCD or SVCD, now almost every player supports VCD, SVCD, XVCD, and MP3 while still being a DVD player. Now if there were to be a new format like Blu-Ray that does contain more space hey more room for DVD quality video which is still seen as standard. Plus come on Blu-Ray discs have caddies and functionlike carts which is what some people wanted with CD/DVD to prevent scratches to the disc's surface. DVD can't live forever but the new format will still be discs and hey DVD are discs too so the Blu-Ray system will still have to bow down to its predecessor the DVD. uh uh how you like me now.:p
