    Let's get Physical .. not

    According to Chris Pirillo, "Blu-Ray Wins: HD-DVD is Dead".

    Format war aside, the best point he makes:

    I do believe, however, that physical media isn’t going to be around for too much longer.

    Me too. As connections get faster and cloud services come into being, the relevance, hell, the inconvenience of physical media will be a thing of the past.

    Of course blu-ray wins. It would be TERRIBLY sad if Sony hadn't learned from the Beta-Max fiasco of the 70's and 80's and made a similar mistake. Contracting motion picture companies like Disney to only release in blu-ray was a stroke of genius!! I'd say kudos to Sony but really...if they hadn't pulled it off, it would have been VERY sad. How does that saying go? Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me. (I realize that's not the George W. version but it just might be more accurate ;-)
