Exactly, we're already a year or so into this waiting for HD/Blu-Ray right
around the corner BS already. I notice MLM didnt try to put any alternative
time frame in place outside of disagreeing with mine...I think 2-3 years is
just about right, meaning we now have 1-2 years b4 you'll see the tiels at
Blockbuster/Hollywood/etc.. or for sale in any semblence at big retailers...
