A lot of people do care about Australia. They are nice and friendly people with good manners.

You have so far not posted much useful information in Video Asylum.

The format war will be fought and won in the market with the highest number of consumers: the USA. - oscar 07:08:06 12/06/07 (4)
Anywhere else is a sideshow (for the moment), That could change if the US economy tanks but than again, if the US economy tanks, so does the rest of the World.

  and the bulk of the world outside the US will play a large part in that.
  
  The US movie studios will go with whatever gives them the best overall chance of a profit and they won't worry too much about whether that profit is coming from the domestic or international market. The domestic US market is small enough at this stage that offending early adopters by ditching one format is not going to worry any company. The international market at this stage is small enough that offending early adopters by ditching one format is not going to worry any company. Making a decision that maximises profit is something that will give each company some concern.

  Europe have more people and more money according to CIA. Note how much the USD droped since 2006.
  
  USA is now less than 20% of the world economy.
  If the USA economy tanks, the world will keep on going and drag USA up again. The growth in Brazil, Russia, India, China and Europe is strong and based mainly on savings.

    Europeans are more likely to save money rather than waste it on consumer goods.
