It was premature to move this way. As much as people claim they have an understanding of the system and how it was overdue to end competition, they are sorely mistaken since competition is the soul of capitalism. We could have had $200 Blu ray players by June and maybe $75 HD players to follow but consumers were impatient in adopting a format and now we will see a slower reduction in price and probably will not get BluRay 1.2 fully adopted until next Holiday season. That means I will have to wait 18 months to get a high end bluray player with full spec. If Apple comes out with some Apple blu ray equipment, I might just cut my loses and think of it as the failure of the industry. We can't have it all. Choose any 2 (Fast, Cheap, and Durable/Quality)
