I think I worded what I meant wrong. I was thinking more how I'd hate to
buy DVD movies only to have to replace them *again* with their HDTV big
brothers. I own a lot of LDs. I ain't doing that twice more. And HDTV
is comparitively around the corner to DVD as opposed to DVD taking a while
after LDs. For the high-end freaks that have to own all the new gear I
would guess that they'd start making, slowly, HDTV discs for them to go
with their $5000 TVs or $20,000 overhead projectors and receivers, etc.
