It's a depreciating asset. Being "future ready" also means you pay exuberant premiums for everything >_> Smarter to invest your money in something that actually increases its value (hard to do with the current US interest rate).
i know whot you mean but my 8800gts is def still worth the price i payed for it 10 month's ago!! wtf means?>> depreciating
He means it'll be cheaper to buy in the future than to buy now. Due to both lowering prices, and time value of money (same amount of money is worth less in the future than in the present).
So pretty much he's saying that it'll be more worth it to buy it later on when blu-ray disks are actually affordable, than to buy it now and let it sit there and depreciate.
And I agree with him.
EDIT: Heh, seems like you got the post in before I did.
