VCR's are history and the usage would be similar to comparing the current PC market to that of 10-15 years ago. The amount of time that a technology product can demand a premium has lessened (refer to my previous post....this is a generalization and is limited to its application....none the less it applies in this case....again, see DVD, video cards, and any open device for which any number of companies can quickly enter the supply chain). The devices we are discussing are not such devices that will demand a premium for long, if ever. If they were, products like the RIO wouldn't have dropped in price by 25% within the first 6 months of introduction. The LU/EDIG device may be able to differentiate itself by being able to play various formats (if it so chooses....I guess we will see if that is the direction they are heading....originally it sure didn't look that way). If I remember correctly, LU suggested it would support EPAC only. Yet, why would it necessarily demand a higher premium? Other players will surely play various formats. And as far as EPAC, I haven't seen very many people out there fighting to get an "EPAC player" in their hands. That demand will have to be created outside the actual players (ie. make people want EPAC....rather than be able to say "hey, this plays EPAC too, now pay more" when the consumer is likely to say "EPAC what?"). A good example is DIVX v. DVD. Hahahahaha....if I would have taken economics classes? Broad principles of economics are certainly applicable to the real world, especially microeconomics (of which we are discussing). To say that they don't apply is to say that consumer's preference has absolutely no weight in the market place. I suppose you have a far better philosophy for discussing consumer behavior (which is but a small aspect)? I need not espouse on my economics background for fear of being called arrogant (as has occurred before for merely mentioning I was in law school). Chris
