The powers that be won't let that happen until they have lost a few billion fighting it. Of course, That cost will just be passed onto the consumer. Whip-te-do-freakin-da. Thats worth celebrating. |

| 584951 | 2007-08-27 09:48:00 | The tragedy is that the winner will not be decided on technical or economic merit, but the losers will always be the consumer, who will end up being economically raped by the winner. The only way the consumer can win is to ignore them both until the deal on the table is reasonable - but no chance of that as the bulk of consumers are suckers. | KenESmith (6287) | ||
| 584952 | 2007-08-27 10:09:00 | I have faith in the consumer ( for not upgrading untill they can make copies, or buying a player for under $100), These big companies have tried to kill off VHS a dozen times before DVD came and killed it, and that (as far as I can see) was driven by cheap players and DVD writers in PC's. Fancy movies that need a new TV and $1200 player havn't got a snowballs chance in hell. |
