Re: DVD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, etc.
I remember years ago wondering if I should buy a laser disc machine to watch movies or wait for a higher technology. And I am sure film afficionado's debated whether they should use Video or Beta years before that.
Luckily, I solved the problem by finding a cinematheque that shows films the way they are meant to be seen: on the big screen in a theatre, often in restored or refreshed prints. Nothing beats this experience.
I think the only time I'll watch films at home again is when I can buy a projector of some sort that recreates the cinematic experience perfectly at a reasonable price. These will probably be available in a few years time.
