If hd had picked up the 15 percent that dvd's lost this year, that'd be real news. Still quite a way to go though...
People are going to be surprised on how fast the mass market will switch to HDTV's and formats...
With almost all tv networks pushing digital transmission, with all the marketing HD is receiving and with more & more people aware of it and quickly understanding the advantage & improvement over DVD, it's clear IMO that HD will take over sooner than most people think
