It's comparable with DVD, SACD, CD--any new digital technology

Prices are high at the outset and then come down. That's the nature of technology. I never suggested that every other market parameter was identical, but to ignore the obvious fact that prices on new technologies are high upon introduction and gradually fall is pure idiocy. Blaming a new technology for high prices is like blaming a baby for its inability to walk. As for that, prices are falling quickly as we're seeing with some announcements at CES this morning. More quickly than SACD, which had a $5000 flagship player and $24 media.
