And you can picture your grandma purchasing an HDTV w/ Blu Ray player??


Not today.  But HDTV's are pretty much the only thing you can purchase going forward.  See my grandma's 1987 TV has to stop working sometime :).  And when Blu Ray players drop below $100 I can absolutely see my family giving our grandma one as a gift. 

 My dad can still only get dial up or nothing in his area.  And with the recession money is fast drying up at the governmental level to upgrade our network to the point where 15-30 min HD downloads can occur.  I'm sure some places have it, I'm just saying it will be more than 5 years till that will be the norm.
