A Man for All Seasons I

A Man for All Seasons

I wouldnt be surprised to see BR take another 7-9 years before it hits equal status with DVD. But I cannot accept the postulate that flash A Man for All Seasons compete at all with optical media. It has its place, and its penetration will expand. Nonetheless, it wont be optical that it supplants. Youre an idiot. No competition? Those studios and manufacturers are all competing with each other for A Man for All Seasons purchase. By your rationale, DVD should have stayed perpetually high because there was no competing format. But it didnt. Over the course of several years, players went from 500 to 1 Why are we expecting anything quicker this time around? In fact, this entire thread is alarmist, impatient pap. Here we are, a few months into the year, and everyone thinks blu-ray was supposed to supplant DVD overnight because it beat HD-DVD? Since when? This was going to take years to get a foot in the door from the VERY BEGINNING. Even HD-DVD sold like sht compared to DVD and at 150 players no less. Until the library of releases gets better and more people buy HDTVs, this will remain a niche format. Stop lamenting already, Jesus. The BD Association is not licensing BR to the cheap suppliers that typically force the market down. Right now the only companies authorized to produce BR players are in the price premium category. That will keep prices higher, longer. I tend to think of LG as one of those cheap suppliers. Perhaps you could elaborate on what you mean along with providing a source for the comment. Maybe a few years ago I wouldve agreed but LG makes some top notch stuff now. I am an idiot? thats thanks. Your still blind devotion to a disk format that sounds rediculous even thinking about it has become really old.
