...blu-ray player? I remember when the Matrix DVD came out about 8-9 years ago and a lot of people were still clinging on to their VHS collections. It was widely accepted that the Matrix DVD was THE MOVIE that converted a lot of skeptics into DVD-player owners. That movie was the reason why I blew my first paycheck on a Pioneer DVD player that was as thick as an AV reciever and as expensive as the PS3 is today. Only after a few years, when the chinese started pirating the movies on DVD did it become more common.

Now, blu-ray players can be found in almost every electronics store but sales are as poor as DVD players were before the Matrix DVD came out.

I just read an article that "the powers that be" (Hollywood) is planning on riding on the success of the Dark Knight to boost blu-ray player sales, in the same way they used the Matrix for the DVD medium.

When the Dark Knight comes out this coming christmas on blu-ray, would you be considering buying a blu-ray player then?
