"While the HD format wars are over, Blu-ray still has a long way to go before it can tackle its main competitor: DVD. Many consumers still haven't converted to Sony's next-gen format, and Samsung UK director Andy Griffiths doesn't believe there's much time left for Sony's format. \"I think it [Blu-ray] has 5 years left, I certainly wouldn't give it 10\", Griffiths told Pocket-lint in an interview.  The time to capitalize on Blu-ray is now, the Samsung head said. \"It's going to be huge\", he told Pocket-lint. \"We are heavily back-ordered at the moment.\" The company is one of few that's heavily invested in the format, with numerous Blu-ray players available on the market.There will always be new formats on the horizon, but we find it unlikely that Blu-ray will extinguish in so little time. With HD adoption still slowly growing, so too will Blu-ray's momentum. Regardless, it'll be interesting to see where home video stands in the next decade.[Via Engadget]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
