Dumping of chep plasma TVs may help numbers but consumers are going to be pissed when they see most of the market is going to go to the LCD market....ONce the HDTV cable subscriber numbers go up more then they are I think it will be a better time. I mean go ahead and introduce it now, but with limited ppl to likely buy now format wars last for longer periods of time whcih only work to keep the average sitting on the sideline afraid to leap into possible the format that dies.

These two formats may very well become the new LaserDisk. You know someone will come out with something better by the time everyone has an HDTV in their homes anyway.
