Trans World Eyes Blu-ray as DVD Savior

Just back from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Jim Litwak, President and COO of Trans World Entertainment Corp.,
showed little hesitation applauding Warner Bros.' decision last week to exclusively support Blu-ray disc.

"Finally, the customer has an understanding of where this business is going to go and will not be confused," Litwak told investors January 10 during an analyst call to discuss holiday sales. "Blu-ray becomes the new DVD format, which is particularly exciting. We like this a lot."

He said Blu-ray would help Trans World grow the DVD category in 2008.

"Frankly, we saw confusion [among HD packaged media] this whole year (in 2007)," Litwak said.

Trans World operates the f.y.e., Suncoast, Wherehouse and Second Spin retail brands.

Nothing to do with the gaming industry, or tech no technical information is given.

William the ps3 has a blu ray drive in it so it has everything to do with gaming, just like HDTV's can be used on console so we allow HDTV stories

that will always be around,it all ties together in some form or another. just like TV's,not a game subject but is still a part of gaming one way or another. even this comment section,not about games either but we talk about it,get over it about what is and what isn't.

Good read. I think the point is important. Cuz the message it sends is, make a bad game? Well shut you down. Make a good game? We still might shut you down. How the fuck are you supposed to feel any sense of job security under those conditions. The level of core incompetence at play in the upper levels of this industry is staggering. This is common sense shit. You can’t chase trends on a 2 year cycle when games take fucking 6-8 years to make. Just let artists fucking art for gods sake. They don’t understand the basic principle that they’re all haggling for the same slice of fucking pie and the market will not bear it. Find a different fucking pie.
