Physical media is dead - download and payPerMinute streaming will be where it's at.

A) Only a few porn studios have announced their support of either format, and this particular article is only referring to Digital Playground.

B) The lower cost may lean many of them, especially smaller production companies, to back HD-DVD.

3) Sony's Blu-Ray Trojan Horse (aka Playstation 3) is going to get their drives into millions of homes in the next year or two, making it practically unbeatable.

*shrug*

You're both right. Beta was technically the superior format. The cost of betacams (among other things) gave VHS the edge.

I predict the cheaper format will emerge as the choice for movie houses. For data backup, etc, BluRay will probably stick around for a while.
