I do

Well, the rise in HDTVs will result in the death of DVD players. Right now, DVHS has a better picture quality than DVD. But, within a few years, HD-DVD will hit the market, and each HD-DVD movie will be in 1080p. It probably won't become too popular for about 5 years, when 1080p TVs are more common and cheaper. At that time, no one will want to watch movies in cheesy 480p, and you'll see a lot of them re-released yet again on HD-DVD. Don't think HD-DVD will take off? Think again. The difference between 480p and 1080p is the difference between night and day. If I owned a 1080p TV, I wouldn't settle for anything less.

Give it 5 years, I garauntee you'll all regret starting your DVD collections.

And Crash, he meant Metroid Prime.
