This stuff is kinda what I do for a living now, and both the formats are not long for this world.

For one, they are completely screwing themselves with Copyright security, which can actually brick your players if you arent careful, and then have to go out and find a firmware update for no reason at all.

PS3 is currently the only updateable Blu Ray player I believe, too, which is kinda funny.

BUt the big thing is the actual recording of the discs. Any professional HD disc recorder is prohibitivley expensive right now, and companies arent committing to either format until it gets figured out, which is keeping costs high.

With storage getting super cheap now, (what, like $300 for almost a terabyte?) It will all go digital soon enough, and people will have to get over the 'owning a disc' satisfaction. With the change from broadband to wideband, which takes a movie from a 3 hour download or whatever to a 3 minute download, you'll see a giant jump in media center type storage units.

Professional AV is already going there, and consumer class will follow soon.
