Curious, how many titles were there available when you bought your first DVD player? According to this report there will be about 1,000 at Xmas.

BTW, it has never really been the shear number of titles available to get me to adopt a new platform, or even an alternative platform. Its about the number is titles, as a threshold, that I am interested in that determines it.

I look at the this from the perspective of the cost of the player divided by the number of titles I am interested in that are available and that must equate to a dollar value below what I am willing to invest for high definition viewing.

For instance, let's say the player costs $150 and there are 20 titles I am interested in that are available. Using Amazon as a best-price (for me) I can think I'd pay about $20/title. The added cost of the $150 player is $7.50/title. Is $27.50/title worth it to me?

Luckly for me the number of titles I own thus far and those I am interested in are substantially more. But, YMMV.
