And it's not like Laserdisc wasn't around before DVD, so you have to keep that in mind. "Huge" has to be in perspective in the context you're using it in.

I agree with Angrist. The quality, the accessibility, the prices, the simplicity of it all is much superior with DVDs than Blu-Rays.

It's cliché, but the DVD was a revolution, whereas (I sure hope I used the word correctly ) the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD generation was just an evolution.

We use these things to watch movies. The easier it is to watch my movies, the better. I don't think the new generation changes the way we watch movies, it just enhances them. You still pop a disc, and it starts directly from the beginning. You can choose a subtitle, or watch it dubbed if you prefer, in your own language. And after the film, you can watch the extras.

Everything more than that is just a bonus, and a bonus which I'm not too happy paying a lot more. Not to mention that most of it is completely unnecessary.
