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.
Why are you arguing reason with a "hater"? He's a hater. He doesn't decide things based on reason.
Arguments that are more suited to your audience:
- That was Sony's secret plan all along. You fell for it by not buying Blu-Ray.
- The DVD Forum said your mom is a whore.
- Really? All the cool people have turned around on this. Hating Sony is so last year.
Etc.
