At the same time, not everyone is going to be upgrading to a large
screen. Also, the vast majority of programming is still in SD. HD
programming is still pretty scarce, and the whole HD-DVD/Blu-Ray thing is
just better left alone until one of them dies.

HD may be the future, but it's not quite a necessity yet. Probably won't
be for at least another 10 years.
