    Well,it depends what you teach them. Quality not quantity. And kids can tell the difference. My daughter has Blu ray,DVD and VCD. She knows which is better looking and she will always end up looking at dvd/blu rather than vcd.

    but there again, I can see a market which sustain for all formats, ie, vcd at 50, easydvd at 90, dvd at 129 and blu ray at 180
    I think you are right that this will be the VCD successor. there is definitly a market for them.

    I teach them to be kids. However I now realise that I am denying them a childhood if they cannot distinguish between Blu-ray, DVD and VCD. I will report myself for child abuse.
