1. Comment - Blu-ray: Early adopters knew what they were getting into

   (Jan 10, 2008 - 6:24 PM)

   Nobody complained when "Stereo", VHS Hi-Fi, Super-VHS were added to VHS platform. Nobody complained when Laser Disc players added Digital Audio and CD capabilities to the platform. Nobody complained when DTS was later added to the DVD platform. Nobody complained when 480P Component...DVI...HDMI...were added later to the DVD platform. Everyone was pleased that these features were being added, and at a price that was lower than their original purchase. Nobody will have to worry about being able to "watch" a movie on their 1.0 or 1.1 player. If they want to add the functionality to do PIP, etc., with Profile 2.0, they can upgrade their Blu-Ray player when the prices fall...and they will! Newer capabilities will be added to the Blu-Ray format, just like they have been added to all the other video formats for years. People will be happy with the new features and the lower prices. Software will drop in price too and functionality will be added as well. Best of all, every Blu-Ray player sold will play DVDs and upconvert them for backward compatibility. Blu-Ray is here to stay. HD-DVD gave it a good shot, but the majority of consumers have spoken. Let's move on.
