My intuition informs me to wait on making a high end acquisition of a
DVD-HDD unit.
I expect the video entertainment industry to change radically over the
next few years. There is no reason that the major ISPs and/or major
cable providers can't work out some way to download videos for the
consumer to put on his hard disk and send to other computers/players
via a network. That effectively bypasses any need for DVDs.
