I'm not sure what tip you are referring too, but you're welcome ;-)

I see no contention in your post. My point was that of those that would/might be inclined to purchase probably won't because the current system available to them lacks immediacy, is a hassle, and necessitates purchasing large (in their view) lumps of credit.

I agree that a lot of people probably would acquire their music through illegal means regardless of the ease of purchase as I noted in the final line of my original reply.

HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Coming Soon to PCs 209

An anonymous reader writes "A Yahoo! news piece has some sales details for the upcoming Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players. They also have some details on disc drives that read the new formats." From the article: "Sony has priced its first desktop computer that will have a Blu-ray Disc burner. The drive will be able to write to 25GB and 50GB BD-RE (rewritable) and BD-R (write once) discs. Sony will start selling 25GB BD-RE and BD-R discs in April for $20 and $25 respectively and 50GB capacity versions of the same discs later in the year for $48 and $60 respectively. The Vaio RC will be launched in 'early summer' and will cost around $2300. At the CeBIT show in Germany last week, Sony announced plans for a Vaio notebook with a Blu-ray Disc drive."
