And how much of the market does that comprise? Enough to buy millions of
DVDs a year? I doubt it.

Not I. I appreciate quality equipment, but most people don't give a rat's
ass.

Got any stat's *you* can back up?

And how big is that crowd? Big enough to interest Netflix, Blockbuster,
Paramount and Disney in betting the farm on Blu-ray or HD-DVD?
I know several BMW and Mercedes owners. None of them could tell you the
difference between 480P and 1080P, nor would they care. High end A/V is a
small niche market, not big enough by itself to support DVD content
suppliers. Unless hi def DVD gets cheap and popular soon, it will flop.
