Since so many homes now have 1080i or better I think HD DVD or Blu-Ray could stay.

Joe (Win Pack) will see a difference and movies are already near the price of DVD's.

Joe SixPack or WinPack never heard the difference or system to hear the advantages of DVD-A or SACD. But they even know it's much more fun watching a movie on a 60" 1080i screen (even a cheap one) than an iPod and the difference is very real. And very close to the same price as DVD.

BlockBuster and NetFlix will also help huge. I would not even consider it unless they were on board and they are. They really have to, to survive the HD age.

I never saw SACD and DVD-A in BestBuy and a-like. They didn't even know what it was.

But every modest gagetier knows about HD-DVD or Blu-ray. Seems like a lot more hype for Blu-Ray even though there are less titles. I think we will see $200.00 blu-ray players by next xmas.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
