Is the future Blu?Monday, March 15, 2010Earlier this year, Blu-ray Disc edged out HD DVD as the high-definition successor to the DVD, but how fast will this format be adopted by consumers? A new report from Park Associates, a Dallas-based research firm, predicts unit sales of Blu-ray players -- excluding Sony’s PlayStation 3 video game console, which can also play Blu-ray Discs -- will top 40 million worldwide by 2012. Despite the ailing economy, Park Associates projects sales of standalone Blu-ray players will reach five million units in 2008, compared to 800,000 units last year. Much of this has to do with player prices dropping below the $300 mark and a lot more movies becoming available for rent and purchase. About This BlogWelcome to The Geek Weekly's blog, which is designed to deliver the latest in tech-related news, rumors, reviews and how-tos for your personal and business needs. You can also expect plenty of opinions, rants and tips. I am a syndicated technology journalist and author. I've spent the last 12 years waist-deep in gadgets, gizmos, gear and games. I'm very much living the "digital lifestyle," whether I'm flashing barcodes on my BlackBerry to board a plane, backing up my laptop's data onto a USB memory watch (Ok, so I know it's geeky) or jamming with my three kids in Rock Band. Like you, I love this stuff. So come back every Monday and Wednesday for new entries. --Marc Saltzman
