I can see the point of a commercially available DVD; I just didn't see the point of him using the DVD in a club, unless he's getting RSI and needs the odd break. Or is it blatant self-promotion? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 8:09 PM To: Brendan Nelson Cc: Robert Taylor; Ken Odeluga; 313 Subject: RE: (313) Mills
from a bizznass stand point, DVDs are definately the future of music media. 2003 was the first year that DVDs sold better than CDs in the US. If you walk into any major electronic/music/media store, you'll see the DVDs right in front. and since the pricepoint has now dropped below $20 for most DVDs, they're the new impulse buy for people who would have bought CDs just a few years ago. And while you can pirate a DVD, most people don't have the HD space/connection speed/patients to do it. So I'd expect a lot more DVDs from your favorite DJs in the future.
