Get over it. DvDs will go the way of the Hi-8 and Digital Tapes in Camcorders; by way of reverse logic:

SOMEONE PLEASE FIND ME A NEW CAMCORDER THAT USES TAPES INSTEAD OF DVD OR HARD DRIVE.

Satisfaction with DVD camcorders: ZERO

Satisfaction with Hard drive camcorders: about 10% of owners

Satisfaction with clunky mechanical tape camcorders: 100%

Do the math.

If you cant get camcorder tapes and DVD camcorders are unreliable at best, hard drives are the future. Meaning, anything with moving parts is going to be GONE; funny thing is the price of the thing without moving parts is going to go UP.

That's called Profiteering. You cut manf. costs so you can increase the price of a good, NOT give the consumer a lower price.

This is the reverse logic of the world we are in. Regarding bandwidth restrictions: WHO on earth is surprised to hear this reality? This happens because a few guys OWN the lines, the cable lines. Until you and I can own those lines, we are at the mercy of the three people who do.

And if you think there's more than three... you probably believe DVDs will be around for a LONG LONG time.

DVDs will be gone in less than 5 years.

  All this talk of DVD's becoming obsolete is getting ridiculous. DVD's will not become obsolete due to the massive tax on bandwidth HD movie downloads will entail. ISP's are already moving towards metered bandwidth caps and the dearth of true high speed broadband in the United States will cripple the streaming distribution of movies. It wil simply be too expensive for the majority of people. The downloading of one or two HD movies will use up most of the bandwidth allotment of many of the proposed metered billing models of the ISP's.

  DVD's and Blu-Ray will be with us for years and years.
