Jobs in the past has compared the Blu-ray format to “one of the high-end audio formats that appeared as the successor to the CD – like it will be beaten by Internet downloadable formats.” Ouch!!
Now in an interview with Xbox Achievements, Stephen McGill, the UK Xbox head said “Blu-ray is going to be passed by as a format. People have moved through from DVDs to digital downloads and digital streaming.”
Now it is already one of my biggest complaints about my Macbook Pro that I don't have a Blu-ray player and am reserved to watching all of my Blu-ray DVD's on my TV, but come on! I watch both Blu-ray and streaming and I will say every time that Blu-ray is drastically better. And as we come into a new age of data usage and with landline and wireless companies talking about tiered data pricing, I don't want anything to do with streaming a 1080p movie over the Internet and having to pay not only for the movie but also for the amount of data being transferred!
