PS: HDTV sales have completely erupted in parts of europe. In the nordic countries, 50 % of all TV's will be HDTV's by 2010. Please don't tell me that no one buys HDTV's just because you can't afford one (me neither, yet)...

They don't buy them for HD they buy them because they are flat

 So the fact that the image quality is a lot better has nothing to do with it? Okay... Since you seem to have a sound knowledge of the hi-fi biz. Maybe they should just stick to the first color TV's then, they were very small. It doesn't matter since picture counts for nothing. This is like saying that people got CD players only because it looked cool, and that capacity/sound quality/practicality had nothing to do with it. No, just no.

You really think most consumers understand the difference between 720 and 1080 or i and p? Nope, they buy a flatscreen because it looks nice and the picture looks nice, anything else is irelevant to them, they don't buy it because its HD, most don't even know that they need to buy HD service or get an HD player
