Comments on: We Should All Care Less About The Hi-Def DVD Format War http://www.attentionmax.com/we_should_all_care_less_about_the_hi-def_dvd_format_war Max Kalehoff On Marketing, Media and Being A Dad Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Max Kalehoff http://www.attentionmax.com/we_should_all_care_less_about_the_hi-def_dvd_format_war#comment-2249 Max Kalehoff Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:39:37 +0000 http://www.attentionmax.com/blog/2008/02/we_should_all_care_less_about_the_hi-def_dvd_format_war.php#comment-2249 Hi Nathan, I see your point, but I don't think multiple fees will be a problem for long. Program-streaming costs will come down, for example, in the form of one low base price for all you can consume -- similar to music (although I think the underlying psychological factors bode better for video versus music.) For example, even today my Netflix account is unlimited streams. And if you're not covered under an all-you-can-eat subscription plan, there's increasingly ad-supported streaming. Cheers, Max Hi Nathan,

People want to watch sports, some news events, and the Oscars (or so I'm told) as they happen. Streaming all of that isn't easy, and existing broadcast technologies work well. Also, watching a purchased disc multiple times doesn't incur multiple fees. As the parent of a young child, you will soon experience the joy of seeing the same show over and over, and streaming the favorite (again) isn't how you'll want to do it.
