I hope it dies!!! I like my DVD’s. Sorry for those who like Blu-ray, but we don’t need another video system. We have one that is adequate. This is one area that I don’t believe in capitalism...lol.
I don’t see any conflict; I used to have bunches of VHS tapes (and since I never throw much out, they must still be around here somewhere), I now have DVDs, and I don’t consider either to be an investment. They do the job they’re supposed to, and relay content to me. Years ago, the guy who ran SuperMac Technology was interviewed in one of the Mac mags, and stated that although he was involved in (what is now) HDTV standard-setting, his view was that there’s not much point to improving the picture without improving the content.
