The current economic situation and its impact on Blu-ray

[Anthony P]

Traditionally speaking bad economic times is good for entertainment.

Some of the reasons
-Like o given above, save the money on something more expensive (like a trip) and use it for something that is cheaper and brings enjoyment now (a movie)
- An other is that what do you do, look at the gloomy face of the guy beside you, watch TV and be interrupted every few minutes to be told that your savings are disappearing? Or escape watching a movie (like Iron man where the good guy wins)
- Put your savings in the bank and watch them diminish or spend some of that money you would lose on your investment and enjoy it, instead of it just disappearing

It all depends on exactly how it will end up, but my guess is that there is a better chance that it will help BD then hurt it.
