Blu-ray not yet finding a home on PCs

Blu-ray players are becoming a hot item in the living room, but they have yet to attract much attention in the office, according to a new report from iSuppli.

The market research firm found that 3.6 percent of PCs shipped in 2009 will feature Blu-ray players. By 2013, the company expects 16.3 percent of PCs to sport a high-def drive. During that period, DVDs will still reign supreme.

"BDs won't be replacing DVDs as the primary optical drive in PC systems through at least the year 2013," Michael Yang, senior analyst for storage and mobile memory at iSuppli said in a statement. "They eventually will find success, but during the next five years, that success will be limited in the PC segment."

well when you consider the cost of a blu-ray player + however much a blank disk is worth compared to usb sticks, or even Solid state drives, its no wonder they're unpopular.

The only reason i can see anyone would want one in their PC, is to either rip movies to their HDD or, if they use their PC as a media PC.
