My prediction for blu-ray and DD

I think blu-ray and Digital Distribution can live hand in hand. Even if they both dominate. How? Blu-ray will the the primary sales of movies and DD will be the primary rental of movies. I think consumers are already pretty okay with having their rentals downloaded. Since you don't own it, I bet consumers don't feel the need to own any physical media. But when you buy a movie, I think that's another story. I'm pretty sure people would prefer a physical form of media whenever they buy a movie.The blu-ray sales market is already pretty large. Last week it took up a pretty good 16% of the DVD market. 24 million sales. I'm guessing by around the end of 2009, it will take up to near 33% of DVD sales and by the end of 2010 it might take the majority of the physical movie sales market. Probably before everyone is renting their movies digitally. My prediction for blu-ray and DD
Reasonable enough. I like the permanence and easy sharability of physical media, and that I can play it in any player in the house without media serving. I've also never had a large enough hard-drive that I can just keep movies. Maybe one day I can just accept a digital copy of something I purchase, but not today.My prediction for blu-ray and DD
Sounds right to me.



When renting I prefer DD actually and used to rent a lot from the Xbox Live Video Marketplace. Since NXE I've switched to instant streaming from Netflix which is awesome.



When buying I still want the physical disc. For one it still seems more permanent than a digital copy. Plus, like Holyknight_CJ said, I don't have the drive space or the desire to have to share it over my network. I'd still rather just pop the disc into the player and go.
The thing about not owning a physical copy, not going to the store to get it, but buying it online, is that all of your information is then online. People's credit card information is stolen online, people can access your account and charge a ton of crap to it. Not everyone likes those possibilities, I sure as heck don't. While I don't think it could happen to me, I'm sure that's what the people that have had that happen to them said.
It takes around 8 hours for downloading HD movie where I live and that is not going to change soon (internet providers fault). It takes around 20 minutes to go to video store and rent bluray movie.So bluray it is

[/QUOTE] thats not really right. in fact buying from amazon is much safer than buying something at a store. with amazon the seller never sees your credit card information, when youre buying at a store they do. I buy from amazon almost everyday and never had any problems. unless youre buying things from weird sites, online is always the safer way to go.
I think DD will gain alot in the next years, right now the biggest problem is to have a fast enought Internet speed

What happens when my HD fails and i have about 2 TB of info on there. I am sure all these sights would have back up like steam does so i can redownload it...but who wants to deal with that hassle. What is the average life of a HD? 6 or 7 years i guess...Maybe the new steady state drives will have a lot longer life...
Cool, but i don't really care for DD.

3.5mm headphone cables same quality as r ...

I have my TV connected with HDMI, and the only sound output it was is the average headphone jack. When I connect the jack to a shelf stero it sounds awesome, but still... Does anyone know if they are good enough for stereo and equal/worse/better than the red %26 white cables? Thanks.3.5mm headphone cables same quality as r ...
The quality isn't all that much worse, if at all; they are both analogue so will be more affected by the amplifier than anything else.3.5mm headphone cables same quality as r ...
The 3.5mm will do just fine, the quality is very hard to tell between the two analog sources. If you want the RCA connecters (Red, white) then get a better Home theater.

Well i was messing about yesterday and something came up something to do with an old screen which is not plugged n anymore so i clicked on it (it was a wizerd of some sort)and i followed all the instructions blah blah blah so it then said that i had 2 screens plugged in my tv and my samsung (which is my tv) s a saved the settings and exited. i then right clicked and chose properties i went over to sttings and switched my default 1 and my secondary 1 around and i uped the resolution i also set it as my default monitor but now all that happens is when its time to log in it goes black but i can still log in because the noise cmes up on my speakers. my tv only suports a resolution of 800x600 and i changed it to 1024x7?? my computer wors fine its just i cant see anything. my graphics card is a nvidia geforce 8800gts and my os is xp (please dont flame me and say its r*tarded because i know, im 13 and i was curious) should i take my graphics card out or what oh and i cant see anything so i cant change the settings. PLEASE HELPAccidently chose dual screen and now i c ...
CAn you see anything when you boot your pc up? If so try going into safe mode and changing it backAccidently chose dual screen and now i c ...
Or try plugging in another monitor that supports the higher resolution
Also seen as though it allowed you to use dual monitors you must have two ports, so try plugging your monitor in the other port
thanks for the reply but ive tryed all of them and none of them works, the boot screen shows but after it shows the w xp logo with the bar moving across under the logo it goes black. im starting to thing i should take out the graphics card so dual screen aint available anymore and then put it back in later but i dont know if it could break my pc or damage a part of it. my dad knows a guy who might be able to help but i cant wait because im doing most of my internet stuff on my ps3 (thank god it works lol or i might be buggered)
