When do you think that HD will become a standard? P.S. What is " true HD" ?

HD-DVD and Bluray aren't going to see the sort of adoption that DVD had. DVD offered a lot of features that VHS didn't have (menus, commentary, scene selection, bonuses) and there was also a flood of content released on it (rereleases of old movies and boxed sets of TV shows).

HD-DVD has no substantial new features aside from higher resolution and there is no back library of HD content. A lot of people aren't going to be upgrading their TV and DVD player just so they can watch 300 with a sharper picture.

I think this is pretty much wrong. I mean just try to imagine that it's 2015, and you need a new TV. Any chance at all they're selling something that's not HD? I don't think so. And how much do HD-DVD players cost? $30?

I'm not saying people will rebuy on HDDVD what they already own on DVD though...

 TVs and DVD players can last 10-20 years. There are a lot of people who don't feel the need to buy a new TV so long as their current one is working.

 While eventually HD-DVD or Bluray will start to take over, there's going to be a substantial legacy market for DVD for years to come.
