High def video itself never really caught on as a feature. It "sells"
now mostly because it's included as standard equipment on what people
really want: large flat-panel screens. And by the time it's established
as the video standard, the whole business of buying or renting movies on
plastic discs will probably have peaked. If so, Blu-ray and HD-DVD will
start to look like SACD and DVD-Audio -- very niche.
