Too expensive


Analysts say it will be years before Blu-ray replaces DVDs. Steve Wilson, a consumer electronics analyst with ABI Research, said that Blu-ray is too expensive and only limited movie titles are available in the format.

Many are more interested in seeing how cable, satellite and online video services play out. Sony might have killed off the rival HD-DVD format, but it is throttling the market by keeping the prices of the technology high.

Adams Media Research said it could take two more years for Blu-ray sales to put the home video market back on a growth path.
