CEDIA Predictions: Blu

No one outside the industry will give a shit. The press opt will ignore this in favor of caring about a real show like CES. (I mean seriously, there isn't even a Wikipedia article about CEDIA all this "buzz" is from fanboys posting in forums)

Likelihood: Hella Happening.

Meanwhile:
Hi-Def digest has posted a nifty tracking app of Amazon sales ranks of HD-DVD vs Blu-rays.

Notice how a week or so after the Paramount announcements there is a bump in HD-DVD sales, but even more quickly the curves return to the pre-announcement status quo with Blu-ray significantly ahead of HD-DVD.

Who knows? Maybe Albert's wet dreams will be answered and Microsoft/Toshiba will shell out enough money for Disney or Fox to go format neutral and there'll be another bump before the curves return to status quo. Or maybe, I'll sneak into unit 1 tonight and take a dump on his face before he can check neoGaf tomorrow.

And for the record, as of two weeks ago the definitive collector's edition of Serenity is only available on DVD making neither HD format advantageous when considering Serenity ownership.
