    When will blu-ray players become the main drives in computers? I say 1 year tops.Hopefully they get cheaper too.

    Re: Wal-Mart to sell only Blu-Ray

    At $30 per movie I don't really care who wins, I'm not buying either. Who in their right mind thinks that is a decent price for a movie?

    Re: Wal-Mart to sell only Blu-Ray

    yeah, people said that about CDs when they first came out too. Eventually, cassette tapes died. Then there was DVD, and eventually video cassettes died. At some point DVDs will die and Blu-Ray will own the market until the next best thing comes out.

    The Iowa City Wal-Mart better keep a close eye on Dominique Douglas if this is the case-he'll have a whole new set of movies to steal.

    Re: Wal-Mart to sell only Blu-Ray

    Both formats are just a stop gap until downloadable media is worked out, I doubt either would have the shelf life that dvd's have had. On Demand type services will be the future, it's too expensive to really take off yet, but so is bluray for that matter.
