RE: Anything else growing 224% ?

If you sell 10 in one year and 22 the next year, that's 220%. Doesn't mean the raw numbers are massive. Last year at this time there were at most 50 titles in BluRay in our superstores here, in Hamburg. Now there are hundreds.
With the huge marketing campaign towards HDTV and lots of software available, the increase is not at all surprising.
I bought a BluRay player even though my display is not full high definition, and although the quality and sound is better, the production values of the film/sound are more important than the delivery medium.
- I think we all still enjoy a good film on VHS.

What gets me is that the conglomerates have to keep introducing new technology and patent it, otherwise they die out. I find that a new delivery media ever 8-10 years does not improve the quality of the overall experience.
It does create profits, though, because people are always wanting and being sold on 'new and improved'.
