Found this today and wondered how it might affect diode prices. What do guys think?
Blu-ray was declared the winning format last year when HD DVD threw in the towel. This victory came after major studios left the HD DVD camp and joined up with Blu-ray. But just because a victory was celebrated, that doesn't mean the format is successful. In fact, a recent Harris Interactive poll shows that many purchased an HD DVD player last year and most don't plan on buying a Blu-ray player anytime soon. This poll's results might be shocking to some outside the tech community, but it clearly shows that consumers are ready to move past physical media and onto the digital downloads. In fact, secondary polls were conducted as well and found that an overwhelming number of people are "not at all likely" to purchase a Blu-ray device within the next year and many will buy fewer DVDs within six months.
Poll finds that physical media is dying, HD DVD as popular as Blu-ray
