Wow.. that's cool stuff.. but do we really need 13 channels of audio some day to watch a movie.. and we'll one day scoff at those that still only have 5.1 or 7.1?

Do hardware manufactures really have a pluse on what consumers what these days? Or are they just releasing anything they want, and suffer the consequences later?

Kind of like DVD-Audio and SACD. We now know who won that battle... SACD.
