RE: Doom and gloom, gloom and doom

Hollywood Video's "Library" outlets are much larger than the regular stores, and they have a small section devoted to both BD and HD formats, and this is how I've been doing most of my HD viewing :-)

BTW, currently Costco offers more BD than HD titles online, and Walmart apparently had never gone further than explore the possibility of $199 HD players, but we already know that's coming with or without them. Meanwhile, judging from Amazon's top sellers list, Sony's PS/3 hasn't given the BD format an edge in same-title sales over HD: If anything, same-title HD sales are more robust.

2-5 years from now, who knows? We could all die waiting for the future to sort itself out! Might as well enjoy what we've got today, because nothing is every totally future-proof.
