Sounds like a few people missed the boat on this one. The object of debate isn’t whether or not blu-ray or any of the other objects mentioned is/were too expensive.
It is, however, about whether or not the defunct product was blu-ray, or the loser of the fight, HD DVD.
I believe Mr. Lambros meant to say that betamax and new coke explained it to an HD DVD, not a blu-ray disc.
So much for “Holiday Spirit.”
