Why do people want to get PC's with high specs? Surley Pentium 2 processors would suffice, but people want more. That is just the way technology works. Innovation is constatly taking place, and then the end user makes avail of the new products.........then the innovation carries on.
The whole history of consumer technology makes it apparent that when new products or services become available the providers evolve to incorporate the new products. Otherwise we would all still be watchin B&W tv's and sending telegraphs
Tell me one company in this field that has stagnated and stayed rigid and survived? You have to keep up with the times

Yeah, sorry, not a contradiction. Now to respond to your points, I will set you a challenge... find me a TV for sale (new) that ISNT at the very least HD Ready.
Your point about PCs: Again, people have PCs that are not Pentium 2s because that is what is sold. Am I missing something here? Let's say you have a Pentium 2 PC and it blows up, what are your choices on the market? Any Pentium 2s....no? How odd!
And finally, your doozy of a comment about the evolution of providers catering for new technology...Not overly sure what you mean here BUT, like I said, the HD market is miniscule compared to the SD market....why...THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DONT CARE. It makes no odds that their TV is HD ready...thats all they could buy. It makes no odds that their PC is a Quad Core...thats all they could buy.
Anyway, thats my rant over. HD looks nice, but so does SD upscaled. END OF.
