Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
This is why the Neil Young Blu-ray packaging "experiment"
for want of a better description is interesting. There could well be a
ready made market of nostalgic Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, who would
love to be able to relive the glory days of their favourite artists in
a neatly packaged high definition, high quality, interactive anthology
such as the Neil Young archive. What better way to rediscover and
remember what it was like?
However, whether the use of Blu-ray is the
appropriate medium is another question. The 1963-1972 Neil Young
archive installment is going to be a 10 disc set. That's a lot of
Blu-ray discs and price hasn't been mentioned yet. With each disc able
to store 50GB of data, one wonders why so many discs are needed and how
much extra material besides music they will contain?
The ultimate question, however, is whether Neil Young fans at the end
of day will simply end up ripping the music from their newly acquired
Blu-ray anthology to an MP3 player. After all, that's the way most
people listen to music these days not sitting on a couch in front of a
Blu-ray player and high definition TV screen. Then again, maybe as we
get older we may prefer to vege out and occasionally watch and listen
to a Neil Young anthology on our 50 inch LCD with surround sound rather
than watch the latest Blu-ray movie release.
