Finally, Blu-Ray can actually be affordable! With the demise of HD-DVD, Blu-Ray will have increased profits, meaning the manufacturers can lower the price and get more buyers. Yesterday morning Sony Electronics president Stan Glasglow told Gizmodo that it’s a Blu-Ray player for $200 could happen in 2009, and one for $300 in this year, meaning more viewers, meaning more Blu-Ray discs! However, these machines won’t be made by any cheap Chinese company, or at least not until they decide to license the technology to them. But this all raises the question, will the world switch to HD? Well, the US will, mainly due to the TV switch from SD to HD, but what about Canada? Well, yes, but not quite as soon as I’d hope, mainly due to Canadian broadcasters not having this limitation, however we will enjoy much more HD content, due to the US changing everything over to it.
