[QUOTE="AVSA Andrew, post: 85791, member: 396"] I don't completely agree with the 'obsolescence' part. The equipment we have in our homes doesn't necessarily become obsolete - unless we refer, for example to DVD taking over from VCRs - it just becomes 'old'. It's not in fashion anymore. Doesn't have enough HDMI inputs and outputs/doesn't upscale/doesn't have enough pixels/etc./etc...And these changes are happening so quickly, it's like being in the midst of a technological tidal wave - the new stuff just keeps on coming. And I agree with what you say about the marketing crowd 'driving' things - the new stuff is quite often crap, let's be honest, but we're [i][b]told [/b][/i]we have to have it, because that's where things are going. In the past...what...? Two, three years, the consumer has had to deal with HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray (and some here got burnt, I know), then we had HD-Ready and Full HD confusion, and the various HDMI incarnations tossed in for good effect, then 3D TV coming in, plus more. It's just been too much, I think. [/QUOTE]
