No different than people replacing their Prologic HT Receiver with one that plays AC3 and DTS; or before that getting a stereo TV to replace the mono one. It will take time. Same for HDTV. It is coming slowly. Not everyone will be running out to buy a new TV set.
DVD players killing new formats......
This is related to my other thread about DVD-A but is a seperate point for discussion.
DVD players are selling (and have sold)like hotcakes here in the UK-it's the same worldwide.
My argument is this,we need the general public to buy the new formats (SACD,DVD-A) otherwise the record companies and manufacturers will just ignore them and continue to focus on normal CD releases.
Now if you are the average Joe,why after buying a machine that plays movies in a new improved format and plays CD's at a level your happy with-why are you going to buy a new machine in the next 5 years?,especially since you just bought that nice new widescreen TV as well.
Have the big companies blown the new formats by giving the masses a new improved format (for movies) and re-confirmed the strength of CD's?
