I really do have a sense of deja vu.
After the events of last year, I don't think anything would surprise me anymore.  |
Except for the extremely huge differences.
2007: HD DVD was losing every week in SW sales, had 1 CE making dedicated players, and had the minority of studios. They chose to lower prices to levels so low they isolated themselves from the rest of the industry. Bluray sold as many SA'a as HD DVD did @~2x the price.
2008: Bluray is the winner of the format war, has been growing all year, will have two 1M selling titles and is offsetting losses from DVD for CE's (see Funai). THE ECONOMY SUCKS!
Will you buy me a new bluray movie if your sense of deja vu turns out to be dead wrong? I will buy you a hard drive if your deja vu turns out to be right. I am 100% confident I will end up with a new BR movie...
Question - do you have a bluray player? Or is the A2 your only venture into HDM? I am curious...
