Does Sony even want to succeed...

For all those who are talking about Blu Ray and HDTV's, HDTV's are more of a priority because it's being forced on us by government regulations or we have to have some clunky receiver put in our houses to give the digital signal to the tv. Digital conversion is now a reality in America. All of our main news stations are digital only. Blu Ray is not a priority. Sony might as well get the government to force Blu Ray on us too.

 

 

I think all the industries, from electronic manufacturers like Sony, to Holywood think HD tv's are a priority. Without HD tv's, there's no Bluray. What I'm confused is why there's a double standard against Bluray, where nobody wants to watch HD movies on the HD TV they just bought, while they only want to watch TV shows and play video games on it. What kind of logic is that?

 

 

HDTV's were never priority in this country. Government regulation is forcing the people to either get a reciever or buy an HDTV. The people have been responding to HDTV extemely slow, because we should've been converted a little while ago. The Obama administation has a shitload of people that they've had to give coupons to for converters, because they saw no need for a switch.

Blu Ray is not needed because DVD already exists. HD-DVD was beating Blu Ray, but even the people didn't want that format over normal DVD. Blu Ray is just a DVD that allows for more space. It's not worth paying $30 per movie when you can get a DVD for 4-20 dollars at best buy. Blu Ray still exists because shareholders will not profit, so they forced it upon us. Sony didn't allow the market to not care about Blu Ray....they forced it upon us.
