Gave us:
>I agree that the differences are apparent, I am not arguing this point.
Hugely apparent.
>I am saying that the masses will not see enough of a difference to cough up
>the costs of a new player and TV just to hop on the HD bandwagon.
I don't care about them, and neither does the manufacturers. They
care about families that have six cell phones, and five MP3 players.
Yes, despite being satisfied with what they have in their current
video setup... (many are too busy to put TV in their lives enough to
care), many will switch over. Some folks have an eye for quality, and
we are many.
>Obviously, you have a HD-DVD player connected to a good display and you
>are very happy with it.
Absolutely. Even my DVD collection is vastly improved. I thought
I'd watch some things on my Sony Progressive Scan 5 disc changer, but
I only turn it on now to show folks the vast difference in HD DVD with
the original. Funny thing is, if I show the HD first, then the DVD
they say "I don't see any difference." If they are a "Billy Jo" sort.
If I show the DVD first, then the HD, even a monkey notices the
difference, both in picture and in sound.
>Most consumers do not really give a shit as they are quite happy renting
>DVDs and playing them on their old players connected to their stereo TVs.
We don't care about them. If they want to switch, they will. They
are NOT the majority, so the use of the term "most" is incorrect.
DVD sales figures prove that they are not the majority. Also WS TVs
sales figures are up... way up. Many stores that were 10% WS and 90%
Std are now the other way around.
>Ok Roy, time for your reply where you rant on about retards, rental
>retards, dipshits, parrots....etc.
Only certain people, and certain posts, and certainly certain
methods of posting get that.
> As you have been told before, you
>do have knowledge and valuable opinions but it all comes across as
>verbal diarrhea when you attack and abuse rather than discuss.
Don't think so highly of yourself. All humans are sinners. You
don't get a free pass just because you talk nice, nor do you not get
one because you talk mean. The criteria for entrance is clear.
