Remember when I told you that THX buried Blu-Ray? Back then, I mentioned this was only a personal opinion of a THX scientist, and it seems I was right in thinking that its company may not have exactly the same opinion. How did I conclude that? Well, it's very simple - on Friday, THX said they are fully supporting the blue discs, and it was all a misunderstanding...


I know I will say again what I said in the article above, but I must do it - Mr. Fincham, the scientist interviewed about the Blu-Ray, is absolutely right. To be honest, I am tired of handling optical discs, and replacing my CD/DVD collection with one of SD cards or something like that in the near future sounds interesting, but let's get back to THX now, shall we?

Graham McKenna, senior manager of global public relations at THX, said "Neither THX nor Mr. Fincham have ever stated that “Blu ray has no chance” or is on the demise. Quite the contrary, THX is dedicated to supporting Blu-ray with many new technologies, certification programs and other initiatives. Mr. Fincham was simply discussing the future of movies on downloads, optical discs and other emerging media."

In the end, the Blu-Ray will probably have a shorter life than the DVD or the CD, and it won't ever reach their popularity, and it may also be the last widespread optical disc format, but I am sure some time will pass until we get to say "RIP, Blu-Ray..."
