• I test drove a Ford Fusion yesterday, and the sticker listed it as 21 MPG average. Sounds like another V6 gas guzzling mess to me. In reply to: "Best hybrid: Prius or Insight"

• Godfather - I sincerely hope so. I'm running 1080i and see no need for Blu-Ray, but I suspect some studios (Sony, anyone) would consider releasing movies exclusively on Blu-Ray to try and give the market a boost. So DVDs would continue to be release for several years, but I think we'll probably start seeing some new releases exclusively on BR in the next 2-3 years. Of course, by then, high-def downloads might be more mainstream and make the whole debate moot. In reply to: "Why Sony needs to (but can't) drop the price of the PS3"

• You hit the nail on the head. A lot of consumers can stomach the idea of putting off or delaying some features (Blu-ray, wireless network) to save money now, knowing that they'll need to pay for them later. I understand that Sony is giving a huge discount for all the features packed into the PS3, but the up-front cost is going to block them from gaining (or even holding ground) on market share. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
  I don't plan on picking one up until it breaks the $200 barrier. I know that's a couple of years out, but that'll be around the time they stop offering movies on standard DVD and I'll need a Blu-ray player. Of course if stand-alone players are < $100 by then, I'll probably skip the PS3 altogether. In reply to: "Why Sony needs to (but can't) drop the price of the PS3"
