new formats and frustration.

So filmmaking has been the main focus so far of my blog, and with that in mind I’d like to focus on the plethora of new formats out there especially the impact on the market.
It’s amazing how much are out there three are out, and they are all competing against each other. Its difficult to stay on top of things with the amount of new tech flooding the market, I phones, I pods, hell I’m pretty sure apples even made a soft drink by now. Three, seriously three for god sake! Blue ray, hi definition, and the old reliable standard dvd, all against eachother all costing great deals of money to upgrade, and to secure a significant collection.
Collecting even, don’t get me started on that, the amount of trouble I go through to find some pretty obscure movies out there is horrendous, and when I find them turns out they just re released it on some new format heck as I speak they’ve probably just re released all the star wars films and created a new format all together.
What to do? What to buy and how to obtain these players are even more pressing questions, when stores have them they are suddenly out of stock and now it’d be wiser to just download then buy the new formats because odds are it’ll all fall back down to becoming last gen as the new ones are in. What we really need now is a dvd player that plays all formats at a consumer price and here is an old saying if it isn’t broke don’t fix it seriously but im a traditionalist and I’ll be sticking with regular dvd’s till they get put in the stone age like their fallen vhs brethren .
