Porn.

I remember seeing an article in some computer mag a few years ago that basically came down to that if some piece of computing tech isn't picked up by the porn industry, then it is unlikely to be a success if your aiming it at the average person.

Actually, yes they do expect us. We won't, but the dumbasses who watch far too much TV for their own good will.

Sorry, that rhetorical question was badly worded. They want us to buy it all again while DVD is still riding high atop the crest of being the biggest consumer product of all time. And as I mentioned most people don't have the bits of kit (HD TVs for one - top notch surround sound for another) or even the technical knowledge or acuity of vision and hearing to hear and see the fucking difference half the time...

I'll do as I always do and get the upgraded doodad when they outdate the old technology from my cold, penny pinching hands.

Yes, there's a Blu-Ray player available on the U.S. market, the Samsung BD-P1000.
