According to a recent NPD Group study, apparently seven out of ten HDTV owners don't see the need to go Blu-ray or HD DVD, because, well, DVD suits their needs well enough. We've yet to dig up the original report, but the point still begs the question -- and be honest with yourself now, this is an anonymous poll, after all -- are you still happy enough with the humble DVD?[Thanks, Sean]
| Yes, totally, DVD will last me until we've got pervasive HD downloads. | |
|---|---|
| DVD has served me well, but I'm waiting for a clear victor between Blu-ray and HD DVD. | |
| Seriously, you still use that crap? Blu-ray / HD DVD / downloads FTW. | |
| I only use my TV for watching the Daily Show. | |
| Whatever, I was NEVER happy with DVD. |
Codec wars-- those of use who use media extenders are familiar with them. DivX vs. Xvid vs. MKV vs. "why would anyone still want mpeg2?" At least those can (usually) be solved by firmware and licensing as opposed to having to buy a new player and media.
