HDTVs are selling like crazy. Sooner or later the owners of those TVs will want movies that are in HD.
Really are they selling? Wow thats fucking obvious... Hmm lets look at the retail atmosphere?
What? You dont say? You mean 95% of the sets being carried in retailers are HD sets? What? You mean people buy new TV's when their old one goes out?
Does that mean they are buying one because it is "HD"?
No it fucking doesnt. HD sets are almost all that anyone sells. If you want anything above a 27inch thats not HD good fucking luck. People dont have a choice, they have to buy an HDTV at this point.
This doesnt mean they are making the "Jump" It justs means
people dont have any choices other than HD because the prices are so nice now. People are content. Example: Look how long its taken us to go to digital broadcasting.
Here is your average consumers questions
What does 720 or 1080 mean?
What does the "i" or "p" mean?
Does this have the digital thing i need for next year?
Does this have the connections for my dvd player?
They are not asking about blu-ray, or HDMI, they dont know anything about DVI, VGA.
I have to tell them that shit
No one gives a shit about HD unless they are........ *drumroll*
-Gamers
-Parents with kids that are hardcore gamers.
-Someone who got sold on it (and at that point they still dont understand what the fuck is going on)

By the way, a lot of hypocrites in here would have a field day if this was a ps3 vs 360 in game screen shot.
If the top was ps3.. "buy the 360 version and sell your ps3!"
Only people who use the tech everyday care. (Gamers)
