Yet you'd actually have to go out of your way to find a large selection of VHS anywhere these days. Just like 8-9 years ago you'd have to go through the same troubles if you were a DVD fan. In a couple of years, the prices on both BR players and BR discs will drop into your range. Right now they are in the range of early adopters who like technology for technology's sake. |
yeah, but the difference between a DVD and VHS is much, much, much bigger than the difference between a BD and a DVD. in 2-3 years i'm hoping i don't need a stack of disc-like media, period. either harddrive or online delivery is what i want, and BD would be a true luxury when i absolutely dig the high-def. yeah, some people would want high-def 24/7, but that would be a niche market.
all it takes is an innovative product like the iPod. except in this case, these days seems like every major company is converging onto online delivery... apple, sony, microsoft, even google, would you believe it. (and netflix, whose survival depends on whether they can make the transformation. )
the Wii is an epidemic.
