You're both like myself. I own thousands of cd's, but no dvd at all, for the same reasons. First, I don't have the time to watch them, as they require special attention, unlike cd's, that you can listen to while doing other things. And then, even if I do have the time, I'd probably watch it once and then leave it at the shelf. However, at least here in my country, there are a lot of people just on the opposite side: they only buy videos, no more cd's. And these guys are usually the ones who own home theaters or high end video systems. Rafael. Quoting Michael Coxe : > On 2/1/2010 9:25 AM, Chris Kouzes wrote: > > Low sales are exactly the reason.
