Toshiba: Blu-Ray will be outdated by downloads

[admin]

Toshiba’s sticking by its guns after losing the HD format war. Blu-Ray might be steaming ahead now HD-DVD is dead, but Toshiba reckons it’ll soon be killed off by downloads and streaming video.


At a Toshiba press event today, the company’s UK CEO said “We know Blu-Ray is growing, but the question is whether it’ll plateau and level off. I’ve just come back from Japan, where I saw technology that even upscales video from YouTube to HD.”

It's only a matter of time. You see this coming also admin. Matter of fact, I don't know what this guy in the UK is talking about, but the UK isn't the only country on the web. As soon as I get my HDTV n all the info I need I'll be streaming whether via a set top box like Voodoo's or through a kiosk by card. I think the ease n storage aspect along w/the price is something that can't be beat or overlooked.
