So, Blu-ray is apparently the next format and HD DVD is set to go the way of Betamax.

I don't think it'll take off that well, though. For a start, DVD is good enough quality for most people, or at least the difference it's great enough that everyone is going to buy a new copy of films they already own.

Secondly, there are so many ways to play DVDs that don't play Blu-ray. Most computers will, set-top boxes and portable DVD players. It's not just a case of the VCR wearing out and replacing it with a DVD player.

And thirdly, aren't we all meant to be downloading all our visual media off iTunes, like, the week after next?
