I'm starting to wonder if high definition is worth it. We may have to put up with Hollywood monitoring what we do and watch. If they don't like it then they can take a dvd player that we buy and disable it. If we want to use a recorder for on-air recording, will Hollywood be able to stop it? Hollywood has basically bought off the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government so I
guess we're at their mercy. The days of the robber barons are back again. If that is the price for hi-def then I will pass.
I also don't believe that either format is a lock to win.
Neither RCA's video discs or laserdiscs ever reached mass acceptance. I don't believe that PS3 gives Blu-ray a huge
advantage. Even with a PS3, people will hold off buying
movies until one format wins. Then there is the next problem. Will a mass audience notice enough of a difference
to replace their Star wars disc with a hi-def disc?
