I wonder if the biggest issue isn't really that consumers don't care.

DVD Makers Starting to Play Games. You've dropped your VCR player and soon you can forget your PC. At least, that's what the DVD industry is planning on. Michael Stroud reports from Digital Hollywood in Beverly Hills.

[...] Consumer electronics companies have yet to announce they're making DVD players incorporating the technology. If the players end up being too expensive, consumers won't buy them.

And most importantly, studios and consumer electronics companies will need to create a buzz about the features they're adding, or consumers won't care. Even with millions of PCs capable of playing enhanced DVDs now on the market, Wuthrich noted, "the biggest issue is that people don't know it's there."
