Hello Joe...

And I for one am not going to try and defend those that deliver empty promises. I do feel its a sad state of affairs with the economy and all and I for one have always felt Pioneers CRT television displays as well as their plasmas were some of the best out there, so its a sad day for me to see their vested interests exiting that arena.

Those stats are interesting and thanks for the link in breaking it all down. When I think about it all as a whole, the free download via the Internet, with websites like Piratesbay.com and such offering up just about any free movie or music download available, its amazing anyone is buying anything anymore.

As for me myself, I purchase most all my software at Borders and Barnes and Noble for variety and selection, not to mention the Koss headphones to sample the music etc. My point being; nobody does nothing for nothing and eventually, {its my feeling its happening already} the artists begin to thin out and the artistry behind the media, like music for example, becomes much more difficult to receive recognition, call it a lack of revenue. Maybe its my generational bias kicking in, but I feel music in particular was much better in the 60s, 70s and 80s on a creative as well as musical level. All pre digital download era.

See threads above for more info on this threat, and that's what I see it as, a threat if downloading takes over. I really do enjoy collecting the physical media { think vinyl} in assembling video and music libraries a great deal, this often overlooked aspect keeps my interest peaked in my participation of this hobby.

I must go now... and I will be looking forward to my new and very affordable BDP51FD and its performance as I received it yesterday. At the worst case scenario, Ill just have to buy another Pioneer AV for decoding. Such is life. ; )

Thanks again, to all those who responded...

Regards,
/// Tim W. ///
