Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Somehow that seems counterintuitive to me.

Trying to sell a "premium" technology at bargain-basement prices seems pretty odd to me. The smartest thing that Blu-ray did was to sidestep any reference to DVD. HD DVD simply doesn't sound significantly different from DVD for Joe Six-Pack to understand the concept ... or even to want to investigate. It still sounds like the same-old, same-old to most people. When they advertise movies on DVD AND Blu-ray disk, it serves to differentiate the formats; thereby implying a justification for a premium price. Not taking sides, just a few observations.
