| Well, they said similar things to the first bigscreen televisions, and they exceeded the timelimit. Then again, if you can afford to buy a 42" plasma screen, you probably aren't going to be too worried about buying a new one in ten years because you have the cash to spend and obviously care about keeping up with the newest things. On the same note, I have TVs I bought in 1997 that are starting to crap out almost ten years later, so I'm not too sure its any different across the spectrum.
HDDVDs and Bluray players are already out (though are apparently backordered or something). There is a limited selection of movies out or hitting soon, so the two formats should be hitting roughly in june (when the first line of Bluray flicks hit the shelves). |
