If DVD Is Dead, What's Next?

uglysad writes "The Age has a piece discussing the fact that, from the home entertainment industry's standpoint, the DVD is dead. So what is next? From the article 'It will come as a shock to film fans who have spent their Christmases stocking up on their movie collections, but the technology industry is in agreement: the DVD is dead. Consumer electronics companies have begun to show off what they believe will be the next generation of home video technologies. But despite the common belief that the DVD is history, the industry is split over what the next step should be.'"

i still have a working betamax with a ton of tapes, several VHS machines with more tons of tapes, a nice cassette deck that once served to keep my vehicles' tape players fed, a first gen x-box with an assortment of games, a coupla ancient pentium boxes (90 and 166 Mhz) still in use, three analog NTSC tvs (one tv is an "almost too big for the room" rear projection set), a turntable and vinyl records, and a five disk DVD player with an increasing number of discs. i still use the first stereo i ever bought from the early 70s (marantz 1030 amp and 105 tuner) for my desktop's sound. THE NEXT THING deally cycle is getting way out of hand. i'll run out of money or a place to put it if this shit keeps up...
