you: Next year (2007), more of the same in HD. Both Blue-Ray and HD-DVD will become irrelevant as the video-on-demand or near video-on-demand (PVR's) gets more widespread. And Hollywood will make sure we pay for the services they provide. me: I think you missed my drift. What I was complaining about is the way the movie studios are degrading dvd in order to move people to hd. What your saying, if I read correctly, is that the market for hard copy DVD/HD is going away. Personally I like to have copies available so that I can review them whenever I want. Some movies like the matrix trilogy or Master and Commander or Prince's Bride, etc. evc. I've viewed many times and will continue to do so. The hard drive on PVRs will probably never exceed 100 GB so keeping movies you copied over the air for any period of time just isn't an option. As far as I'm concerned the only way I can guarantee the studios wont screw with me is if I have a copy of my own and that's something you will never have with your PVR. This is from someone that owns a lot of CBS and Viacom stock from the days when the wife was working at Paramount. I probably know much better than you do what a sleeze bag business the movie business is. There isn't any length to which those guys wont go to screw the public.
