This year, many more Americans are considering jumping on board the Blu-ray bandwagon. Entertainment companies have been pushing Blu-rays (BRs) for the past few years because it’s a new and expensive industry, so these companies are looking for new ways to profit all the time. By encouraging people to upgrade from their DVDs to BRs, corporate executives believe they can make a fortune by creating demand for a product that is totally unnecessary. These companies would have consumers believe that the new boxes are the best way to watch movies in high definition, but the reality is that they are unnecessary and all those movies can be found in the same high quality on satellite TV.

After all, why else would people visit the eye doctor, have their eyes tested and wear glasses for their entire lives? The books, ideas, and concepts that we are most attracted to be vested in the simplicity of something that is clear. That’s what high definition television does best; it provides cleaner, clearer, and more vibrant images that are capable of tantalizing even the most bored senses.
