Is it just me or is blue ray just a new gimmick to make huge companies money now that the cost of dvd has hit the floor.I personally think this will be a turkey as people whom have just spent hundreds if not thousands on dvd systems will not be prepared to switch so quick.Just look at the war vhs had with betamax laserdisc with videos.People like to through history it seems to stay loyal to a format for a while.Sony especia;;y must be horrified that there umd for psp has failed and now major movie companies are no longer backing it.Why didnt they just put the movies on a smaller disc format with coverters being cheaply purchasesd to allow dvd playback.
