But you have to keep in mind the marketing cycle of high-end or tech
products -- i.e., when they first come out, they are in the price range
of only a few (like cell phones once were), then over time, the price
comes down, and the hoi polloi can afford them. (Remember, too, when a
lot of VHS releases were $99 or more!) Have DVDs been in the hands of
the common man 10 years, or less? Just curious.
