View the latest post Transition to Blu-ray slows with the economy. In other news, water is wet
Posted by: Scott  •  Forum: Blu-ray Hardware & Software Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:12 am

It's been some time since Sony's Blu-ray high definition movie format knocked off its stiff competition from Toshiba and HD-DVD. However, the monopoly on HD flicks hasn't yet morphed into big sales, according to reports. In fact, the slowing global economy could drastically hurt the transition from standard (and cheaper) DVD.

Although it took a good long time for Blu-ray to nudge out HD-DVD, there had been speculation for...

View the latest post Wal-Mart offering a Blu-ray player for $128 on Black Friday
Posted by: Scott  •  Forum: Blu-ray Hardware & Software Thu Nov 20, 2008 10:11 am

The Apple TV continues to languish as a mere "hobby," yet the device has so much unrealized potential as a set-top box, writes John Martellaro.

View the latest post Poll: High Definition: Is it still a big deal to you?
Posted by: Scott  •  Forum: Home Theater Wed Nov 19, 2008 12:51 pm

It's been 2 years since Blu-ray debuted. And several years since the broadcasters first started showing putting out HD. And in that time more shows, more sports, more channels, and more content in general has been made available. For those of you who have bought into HD, do you still get that "wow factor"?

View the latest post Blu-ray to increase holiday electronics sales slightly, says NRF
Posted by: Scott  •  Forum: Blu-ray Hardware & Software Wed Nov 19, 2008 12:16 pm

Videogame sales during the holidays are likely to get a boost from parents shopping for girls while the popularity and price drop of Blu-ray players will increase electronics sales slightly during the shopping period following the Thanksgiving holiday, the National Retail Federation said in a report this week.

Among the 10 most popular toys for girls, Nintendo's Wii games console rose to No. 5 from No. 7 last year while videogame...
