The People vs. HD

Order in the court. The next is The People vs. HD
I know there have been talks lately about Michael Bay, and talk about to how to get people to go HD if they haven't yet. To me there are a couple of reasons. First, Prices and deals. Everybody loves stuff cheap. I work in retail. Grocery retail anyways, but I go through the same situations and seen it all over the place. I've been to BB during the holidays with pallets of DVD players $20 dollars and people grabbing 3 or 4 of them don't care if its a company no one has ever heard of. At work we'll small tvs and dvd players for the holidays. The dvd players we sold last year was Sungale progressive scan. Never heard of the company, but we had $39.99 on them and sold out of them. People are either not wanting to spend that much for them or they're playing the waiting game. They might wait 2 years before they get one. Thats why Blu-Ray is doing the 5 free movies and HD-DVD is doing 9 now. Its to get people, not only to buy there format but to get people knowing that there saving money even if they're spending $200 to $500 for a BR or HD player.
The Second is they're scared. I didn't realize it until today but I had some guy I work with ask me the question. Do I have a HD player. I told him I had a BR player and if he was wanting to step up to go BR. He told me he was scared to because he gets something new something else better comes out. From tvs to dvd players. He told me he was pissed off about it. So it makes me wonder how many people think if they do upgrade that it will be obsolete.
Third, advertisement. There's really no advertising on tv on BR or HD DVD player. Companies put commercials of there DVDs coming out on DVD and BR, but they don't know what BR is because there's no commercials for BR players, like for cell phones and computers.
Then they're are people who don't know nothing about it and are just fine with what they've got.
Let me get one thing straight before I'm done. I'm not trying to say this is whats on everybodys mind who hasn't upgrading yet. They're are people out there who haven't yet but they're planning on it soon. This is just my opinion.
