HD 5.1 is not a problem for this reason as file size is of no concern. There is actually little Blu-Ray content worth watching once you have seen the quality of Discover Channel and National Geographic videos as far as I'm concerned. Many are simple re masters. Rental stores will hang on as long as possible but they used to be for those that chose not to purchase cable. Now cable is far more popular so there has to be a steady decline in stores like Blockbusters. I drive by a store that advertises XXX material. I bet those will be the last to go. ;) I don't know about the upload to your media idea unless the gas pump has USB connection. The idea is to not have to leave your house and buy on impulse as soon as you see the trailer. Then there is the Xfinity factor with On Demand that HAS to cut into rental but this whole discussion is about the demise of the oversized DVD. What will 3-D bring to the (coffee) table I wonder. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1 * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www. (1:124/5013) .
