DVD for me. I don't have DVD player but would buy one. Maybe Paul can raise the price of the DVD's and throw in a free DVD player.  ------------------ |

I'll buy the product regardless of the format but will select DVD or CD if available.

Jim Those are simply DVD-players - when DVD RECORDERS arrive, that's when the VCR will become obsolete. I've been looking at a DVD/cd 'Home Cinema' type of set-up, and some people have suggested that I wait, because it won't be long before actual recorders are available. Still, $79 for a player will hardly break the bank, and I may get one as a stop-gap. Oh, DVD for me, please, Paul - or did I say that already? ------------------ |

Roger, DVD recorders have been readily available for some time, albeit expensive. The prices have recently dropped below $500 for some models -- and will drop further. Just go to an electronics distributor like http://www.crutchfield.com to see what's available. ------------------ [This message was edited by Larry Bell on 05 March 2003 at 07:54 AM.] |

I wonder, how much more influential the opinions on here would be if we all who reqeusted DVD would be willing to put up the $$ or at least a 'deposit' on one of the DVDs in advance... As long as the instructional DVD wouldnt be TOO far out of reach ($30-50, cool, $300-500, don't think I could handle that *laugh*). Just a thought. |

Don't get mixed up here on the difference between "recorder" and player". I'm assuming that these $69. DVD's are players, not recorders, correct? |

Thanks, Larry I guess what my informants meant was that the prices for DVD-recorders are dropping all the time, and that a little patience might be rewarded - I had misunderstood. RR |

Paul, Since most of your target "audience" is composed of baby boomers and above, I would recommend the VHS format initially, but you will want to follow up with DVD within a year to catch everyone else. I don't know what the financial variables are, but I hope you can do both. Best wishes |
