I do not believe DVDs will be obsolete in three or four years. People aren't switching to Blu-Ray that quickly. Maybe when Blu-Ray players are $75.00 or less or when the cost of owning a PlayStation drops to that same level but not until that time.

Agreed. I don't see how anyone can think that given how long it has taken VHS to die, and DVD was a much better format than VHS. People didn't have to buy a new TV to see the benefits of DVD (other than the player that is).

Of course with the digital transition and falling LCD/Plasma prices lots of people are buying new TV's that happen to be HD, so then if they were so inclined to buy a BluRay player their TV's would then be suited for it.
