With the huge influx of HD programing now present on TV it's begs a question. Why do we have SD DVD's and players at all anymore? You can watch and record 25 or more HD movies a day on HBO, Showtime and Cinemax. Yet it costs $30 to buy a single HD movie. If TV can supply HD broadcasting for free (OTA) then why such a premium for HD DVD's? Why such a premium for HD players? Going from SD to HD DVD's should have been a natural progression, not a great next coming.
