double dipping) ir order to get a higher quality for already owned movies, when the current quality offered in standart DVD movies released in recent years, isn't bad enough to feel forced to upgrade, which wasn't the case when upgrading to DVD from VHS. sure, either Blu-ray or HD-DVD movies offers you higher quality in picture and sound, but the reality is that most consumers think that standart DVD movies are overpriced (you can figure out their thoughts about paying even more for Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies) Also most consumers express reluctance to upgrade all their current DVD collection (once again. the biggest impediment for most consumers is the excessive prices on HD players and HD movies.

I know what you're saying but I think you're looking at this the wrong way. They really have too slow down and let the market make a dission on the format and quit feeding us the hype over media I mean really if we buy a new player eveery time they create something new then we'll all be slaves to the next big thing.
