I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never put any thought into it. But you’re right, we are getting screwed!

What I like about DVD’s is the way that we can jump to a scene quickly and I typically go over the special features, especially if it’s a horror film. CD’s are the same way in that you can jump from one song to the next effortlessly.

The next thing is Blue Ray - I think that’s what it’s called. I haven’t had any experience with that. Maybe it’ll be better? Have you had any experience with it?

Nah - cause the next thing will be a tiny version of a clip that will be encased and therfore unscratchable. And consider iPods where you don’t even really use a device for each separate song!

okay so records may sound better than cds. correct. cds are smaller than records. cds hold more data than records. dvds hold more data than cds. its getting better… they just need to make a scratch proof cd.

I remember reading an article in a computer magazine about how Blu-ray players will come with a chip built in which is supposed to fry itself if you play a pirated disk, therefore rendering your player permanently useless.
I won’t be going down the blu-ray road for this reason alone. Can we really trust the technology not to make a mistake, even once?
So yes, in some ways we are getting screwed.
