But when LD was the big thing I knew DVD was coming along so I waited it out. Not when it came to a nice small disc however, I paid out huge money (to me) for my first DVD player. Discs don't seem last century to me, but then I'm old (45) and like something in my hands. I grew up with a TT and big black shiny records. The thought of having a PC in my room is hard to fathom for me, as is downloading a movie. I guess one can rent via your cable supplier, yes? HD available for that?
I'm old school I guess. When I want to watch a movie I drive to Blockbuster and look at the shelves. I own a total of maybe 25 (SD only) movies, so I'm not the BD collection (or any movie format collection ever in my life) kinda guy. I'm not at all a buyer, as once I've seen a movie I rarely watch it again (heck, I only rent about once every 2-4 weeks).
Still, I do see your point, trust me. Particularly for those who live on a PC. Personally I get paid to sit at one all day long. I have emails to answer when I get home, some mild surfing and I'm done as far as PC's are concerned. Will I eventually have one in my room?, maybe, who knows.
