Blockbuster to favor Blu-ray HD discs over DVD format

[Groundbeef]

I don't know of any Bose systems for $250,000. Wasn't going to that extreme. Average Joe can't afford them.

It wasn't Bose. It was some sort of handmade wood speaker system. I'll try to look it up, but what a chore, digging through months and months of Playboy.

The point is that there are extremes on both ends. To some point, people DO spend more money because money=quality. Does $250,000 for a pair of speakers though really perform better than say a pair for $10,000? I doubt it.

There's a pair here in AR's review section. Just sort by price. Or you could just flip though all those PB mags.

$250,000 sound better than $10,000? Maybe, but I probably can't tell. But most people would say that a $3k Bose system is better than a $1k anything else system. OK, so none of those people are here. But we only make up a small percentage of the population.

Some people will view BR as better than HD because they see it priced higher. They may still buy the HD, but in their minds they'll be thinking they wish they could get the better system. (I'm not saying BR IS better, just that they will think it) People with a little extra income will buy BR for the same reason. Right or wrong, it's what people do.
