Rotel, no more DVD players?

Most all DVD players are using Blu-ray and it isn't free to other manufacturers since it is a Sony product.
Home theater sales are down in general, Thank God, and it cuts into their profits.
I personally do not believe in hard drive based systems.

Foster-9, Yes, I have tried it and it doesn't sound as good as my CD player.
I also have a problem with owning a whole bunch of nothing and that's the way I see it. Call me old fashioned, but I'm not alone.
I also like the flexability of taking music with me in the car or to a friend's house.
I won't own an ipod and I am appalled to see an ipod dock on a Wadia or Manley Stingray. I'm sure this was strictly EveAnna's idea. First she starts naming stereo equipment after fish then she adds ipods and remotes. I'm sure that would not be the case if David was still running things. He's old fashioned like me.
Please don't be offended. If you like it, it's fine. It's just not my thing. I will stick to records, CDs and tapes.

I see the problem. I wondered into a home theater post by accident. This is why nothing makes sense.
