New Study Finds Low Interest In Blu-ray

PHPNerd writes "A new consumer survey recently released chronicles the woes of the winner of the hi-definition format war: nobody wants it. While consumers were very happy to embrace the DVD standard when it came about because it brought a huge jump in quality over VHS, the pros of switching to Blu-ray are not as obvious. From the article: 'In contrast, while half of the respondents to our survey rated Blu-ray's quality as 'much better' than standard DVD, another 40% termed it only 'somewhat better,' and most are very satisfied with the performance of their current DVD players." Another reason cited was that a Blu-ray investment also dictates an HDTV purchase, something consumers are reluctant to do.'" Maybe it's also that line-doubling DVD players can be had for less than a hundred dollars.

I realize this is going to sound like a Troll but I'm just going to be honest with you. We have something here that you do not. 30 million niggers. There, I said it. You get more than 3 in a movie theater and the experience is ruined. Constant outbursts of laughter, loud talking, etc. They have no concept of self-control at all. I've all but given up on going and when I do, I only go early in the morning in the whitest part of town.
