When are these guys going to figure out that people aren't going to just
jump on the latest gadget unless there is a compelling reason to do so?

Fact is, few people want to buy into one technology or the other right now
while it's uncertain, and given the whole issues with DRM and Sony's
rootkit, and other issues, people are wary about buying into any highly
restrictive technology.

Of course the manufacturers won't get it. They'll just think nobody wants
high definition movies.
