Comment In the next decade? No way. (Score 2, Insightful) 299

The idea that this technology will be embraced in the next decade is rather optimistic, to say the least. Look at the history of HD. Sony demonstrated the technology in the 1980's. The US adopted an alternative digital standard in the early 1990's with conversion mandated to be complete by 2001. We are now in 2005, and we don't even have a frickin' recording format, let alone standardized broadcast! Sometime next year, the first recording formats will emerge, with a lot of blood on the floor (pick sides: Sony or Toshiba) and the studios will continue to push DVD's. Why? Because well over 70% of studio revenue comes from DVD sales. Movie box office accounts for less than a third of the cash they get from movies, and if you think the studios are moving away from DVD, think again! they like money.
