I'm hyped about having a DVD-A player, but I'm seriously underwhelmed with the title selection. The only thing I see myself picking up is Core by Stone Temple Pilots, a few of the R.E.M. discs, and possibly Metallica's black album and L.A. Woman from The Doors.
It seems like the big pushers for the format are Warner, and yet they don't seem to have a whole lot of faith on it based on the title selection. If they were big believers in it, wouldn't they be pushing for day and date releases of their major CD releases? I've seen a handful, but that's not gonna bring about market penetration.
There are quite a few SACDs I'd pick up if I had a player, but based on Sony's complete lack of new mid-range and lower end players with SACD compatibility, I tend to wonder if they plan on continuing with their SACD venture.
I like what I've heard thus far, but somebody please tell me the future is gonna be brighter, otherwise I barely see the point of buying new 5.1 cables.
