Your yacht isn't sporting too many amenities. Let's see if it floats, and for how long. The analogy doesn't work for me because when you talk about the luxury of the vessel, you're talking about the film. I'm talking about the capacity of an optical format. You know somewhere in the atrophied recesses of your mind that uncompressed, lossless digital content is best for high res audio and video applications and that greater capacity and high bitrates are the key to that. You know that successful formats won't be around just for today but for many years. Who knows what innovations will come. Already we're seeing HD DVD maxed out. Warner couldn't even fit the A&E documentary "Hidden Secrets of Harry Potter" on the Order of the Phoenix HD DVD (it's on the blu-ray version). That's just the beginning of the limitations you are facing by choosing hd dvd. The idea that you had to adopt it because you wanted the cheap player, casablanca and matrix which you've seen a million times, is unsubstantive and illogical. It is not a rational reason to adopt. Sorry, but your position is bogus.
