In Reply to: A remaining issue is what is the price point at which mass adoption starts to occur. posted by oscar on October 28, 2007 at 07:19:45:
an important resistance level to widespread adoption. I remember waiting a long time for DVD players to drop below $300.00. Though the advantages of DVD over VHS are easier to see, I didn't mind paying 250.00 for my first DVD player. DVD was widely adopted long before players dropped to 100.00. Just my opinion.
So we are already there with HD DVD players. Never mind it isn't the latest and greatest HD DVD player; the masses don't care.
So what is holding up the show? The 30.00 disc problem and the format war. The format war is beyond any one parties control, but why doesn't HD DVD pass on the savings from a less expensive manufacturing process in the form of cheaper HD DVDs?
That would distinguish HD DVD from blu-ray, and also narrow the price gap between DVD and HD DVD. Right now, to the average consumer, both blu-ray and HD DVD software is prohibitively expensive.
