Cinram has announced that they have added Blu-ray lines to their reproduction facilities this summer in order to handle the anticipated Blu-ray surge this holiday season. They also confirmed that they would be handling the production of one of the most highly anticipated Blu-ray titles to be released this year, 'The Dark Knight'.

Dave Rubenstein, CEO of Cinram, commented, "As the attach rate grows … we expect [our Blu-ray demand] to get bigger. We've installed some more machinery to handle the fourth quarter needs."

"What is a Honkyspade?" --KungFuTaco

In addition to the name being in incredibly poor taste, it appears to be the name of a brand-new agitator for Blu-ray, perhaps one of our old "friends."

John, John, John. You're not still feeling some repressed anger towards Blu-ray, are you? I thought that we're over that now?

Considering it's better than standard DVD (IMO), I vote that it's "worth winning".

I'm starting to see a trend here. Pro blu-ray post by someone, then anti- blu-ray post by someone else, then it repeats. I suggest since its still summer why don't we all just go outside and go walking or jogging or play a sport or something.

Concorde was better - it barely (if indeed did) recover its development and running costs. It doesn't fly today and nothing has replaced it. Sometimes technology over takes what the consumer is prepared to pay.
