Predictions




Tragically, there is one HDRKID prediction that did not come true. The replacement of DVD with HD. Bluray as in physical media is dying. In fact, go to any Blockbuster store and most movies are in DVD. The promise digital future never came. Unlike the move from VHS tapes to DVD disks, the predictions of migrations to HD did not take place.

This is important because if it had, sales of big screen LCD TV would have take off and new movies would be made for consumption in bluray, but the bulk of sales is in the old DVD formats, and as time goes by they will be downloaded off the net.
