Nope My old DVD library will likely cover most, and I can certainly
wait until things meld, if that's the way it goes. More likely the
meld will be at the studio level, because 100% of two markets is
better than 50% of two markets. Also, plastic is easier to pop out
than hardware.

Do the math. Studio capitulation is far more profitable for all
around than any future hardware is or will be. Mainly due to the fact
that they want money NOW!
