HD Discs already Obsolete?
Take a trip into the future with me.
It’s opening night for Serenity II: Search for Book. You and a couple friends decide that this is a movie worth paying full price for. Theater price. But you don’t want to pay full price for the popcorn, beverages, candy, or the sticky seats and noisy audience. Oh, what to do?
Download the movie in full HD to your home server, of course. You pay the $12 for a nice HD version of the movie, and you and the guys watch it in the comfort of your own home. (Or Jim’s because his HT setup is actually better than yours, though you refuse to admit it.) You watch the glorious 1080i HD movie on your Qualia 004, and listen in full DD+ surround.
The $12 is basically your fee for seeing the movie during its theatrical run instead of months later when released to video. And this isn’t a just any dream. It’s Joe Kane’s dream, and he’s working to make it happen.
