Singulus: Blu-ray Adoption Faster than DVD

German optical disc equipment manufacturer Singulus has revealed that, during the first year of dual-layer technology, Blu-ray orders have surpassed that of DVD. For the year after dual-layer DVDs were introduced, Singulus filled orders for 17 machines. One year after dual-layer Blu-rays were released, they are reporting 21 orders. Singulus feels that this is a clear indication that the Blu-ray format is being adopted faster than DVD during the same period in its life-cycle. As more companies adopt the format, more discs will be put on the market for consumers. Everyone involved hopes that with the ever-increasing amount of content, more and more consumers will adopt the high definition format.

Fact that the REDS can't put a spin on ! Downloads are going to beat Blu Ray ? Put this in your pipe and smoke it; nay sayers !

Wow! That is quite a statement, considering everyone I know compares Blu-ray to DVD.

It's GREAT! I have said before that Blu-ray is making headway faster than DVD was. People are clamoring for something not only in HD, but with the quality we all expect from a film. Now people can get that, and with the prices dropping as fast as they are, despite the declining economy, people are buying it up! WOOT

Excellent this is what we all want to hear. More discs getting made and bought= better adoption ,more movies getting brought out on Blu and hopefully prices come down and dvd's stop getting made. ( I can hope can't I ?)
