Being able to present a better picture and sound experience without the annoyances of other people with their cell phones, pagers, laser pointers, chatting, etc., etc., etc. The move by the wife and myself really had less to do with HD than being able to better control the overall experience.

Allow for a zoo in ambiance and the non-animals will stop coming (like me).]]>Dec 19th 2008 8:57AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/Dec 19th 2008 9:55AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/
For me to go to a theater one of the following must be true:
1) I really, really can't wait 3 months for the DVD release.
2) There is some sort of gimmick only available in the theater (like IMAX format or 3D glasses)


They should add an audience track to DVDs that imitates the Cheering/Laughing/Children-Screaming/Cell-Phone-Ringing you get in a theater. Then you could really bring the experience home.]]>Dec 19th 2008 12:59PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/Dec 19th 2008 6:49PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/
I'm not sure that I'm doing it as an alternative to something else.]]>Dec 19th 2008 10:02AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/19/economy-hd-adoption-to-blame-for-higher-stay-at-home-entertainm/
This sentence is incorrect. It should say "more high *visual-quality* at-home"...

Just because programming is in HD, doesn't mean the show doesn't suck anymore.]]>Dec 19th 2008 10:07AM
