'Blu-ray will be as dead as HD-DVD'
So why did all these people, knowing full well the HD DVD player could go the way of Betamax, buy one anyway?
Josh Levin, in a column in Slate, has a theory, at least regarding why he plunked down $150 for one:
"I have a strange affliction that left me susceptible to HD-DVD's limited charms: I'm a gadget-loving cheapskate."
He also calls himself a moron and an idiot. I think this guy needs a hug.
Anyway, Levin hopes to make all those "HD-DVD-buying losers," himself included, feel a little better by pointing out Blu-Ray's days are also numbered.
"If there's any consolation for us HD-DVD-buying losers, it's that disc-shaped physical media won't be around much longer," Levin writes. "Once high-definition digital downloads, like those available through Apple TV, hit the mainstream, Blu-ray will be as dead as HD-DVD. Take that, Sony!"
