Here's another reason for optical media - gifts. They are cheap, people like them (more than likely they won't re-gift them) and they are everywhere. Just look at the checkout counter at any major retailer - an impulse buy. When my family isn't sure what to get me and they don't want to spend a lot, a DVD or BD always works. They just look up my wish list on amazon and click away. Problem solved.
Woohoo! I get to buy Dark Side of the Moon one more time! (Vinyl, vinyl again - wore out the first one, CD, Original Master Recording CD, SACD).
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
