After the compact disc ushered in the first digital music revolution, there were questions about whether the digital versatile disc (DVD) would have a similar impact. It did.
The DVD has become one of the most successful consumer electronics products ever in the decade since it was first test-marketed in seven American cities. About 80 percent of U.S. consumers have a DVD player in their homes; that's more than PCs, VCRs, cable television or even analog televisions for which DVDs were designed. The DVD accelerated home video purchases, and Netflix carries about 85,000 DVD titles.
With the end of the Big Spring Sale and the lead-up to Easter, Amazon has axed the price of this stunning, high-performance Alienware display.
Workers at Sega of America, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., have became the first employees at a major North American video-game company to ratify a union contract, a move that may accelerate a burgeoning labor movement in an industry known for widespread instability among its work force.
The contract, ratified Tuesday, covers around 150 people across marketing and other departments at the division’s offices in Southern California. Workers will receive minimum yearly pay increases of 4% in 2024, 3% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026 as well as a number of other benefits, Catalina Brennan-Gatica, a representative for the Communications Workers of America, said in an interview.

Worst thing that will happen is it will have a lower stock price and ceos won't get extra millions they don't really need. Other than that the company will continue on and ppl will be treated better.
This is AWESOME - Sega seems to be progressive in their new ways - big props to Sega !!!

I believe, the industary now should switch to DVD music and dump CDs(it's already dead). With DVD music, we would have better frequency range and 5.1 or 7.1 music
dvd players in 80% of homes and sales are falling slightly. i wouldn't take that as a sign of the death of dvds more the fact that the market has become saturated.
sacd and dvd-a are good examples of formats which where technically better but the public ignored because of the specialist equipment needed i.e new cd player and to get the most out of them 5.1 surround system or at the very least 2.1 separates.
