Slow Death vs Fast Death

[GregBlu5]

I wish someone had told me before I bought RCA's doomed CED SelectaVision format back in the early 80's--on sale, no less, with a free disk tossed into the deal--that it was a lousy format and was going to die in about a year. I would have had an informed choice to make.

Right now HD DVD fans have a huge informed choice. They know Warner is abandoning them. They know that other studios are probably going to abandon them, as well as all major retailers. They've got the Internet to inform them. They've seen the sales figures for months now. They have had far more warning than I ever got.

The ignorance card cannot be played. And it's difficult to have pitty on them at this stage.
