Different area but recently we bought a new DVD player that came with progressive scan capability. Unfortunately we don't currently own a TV capable of dealing with this, so it's a feature that looks like it might be cool but has no practical application in our household. And I'm not going to go out and buy a TV just to work with special functions for a $79 DVD player :) When plasma TVs comes down to a reasonable price point, we'll get one. I've watched the big plasma TV at Best Buy come down $12,000 in nary more than a year, so this market is shifting wildly in consumer favor. Now, as for Peter Gabriel: he should just include a bonus DVD or CD with special 5.1 sound versions of his music and that might be an extra reason to pick up his new CD for those with the special equipment. For CDs to survive in the coming years they are going to have to go the route of producing special content that isn't available through the legal online music channels similar to the way movies on DVD are marketed. People love bonus stuff :)

I love Peter Gabriel, and I'm more than willing to get a 5.1 system -- if he pays for it.

I think everyone should go out and buy a 5.1 system whether or not they can afford it. I'm running off now to pen a letter to my congressperson suggesting he put it forward as a constitutional amendment. With the exception of an album here and there, I really don't believe Peter Gabriel has spent a lot of time through his career worrying about the number of people who buy his music. I think he records for his own pleasure, and if lots of people buy it, that's fine. If he wants to ruin his own market, let him! Artists are not generally known for their logic.

Pretentious is the word. Like he's doing anything that !@#$% amazing anyway. It's been good enough for 90 years, so far. Why doesn't he just be a sensible fellow - and maybe he will - and have some limited editions in 5.1 for those who actually really care - and have the equipment. Ass.
