I don't really think anyone has much cause to worry.

CD-I says that they are NOT a game machine but that is just about all they
really are in this format. 

so what they give you an Encyclopedia ? What good does it do you in the living
room when you are writing a report in the den ?

They advertise software starting at $15 but they don't tell you that the
average price is about $59.00+ for any quality wares.

The FMV cart is being priced near the same price as a Laser Disc player yet is
is lower in resolution.
 
I am not ready to spend 400-500 for a GAME MACHINE which is exactly what it is
weather they admit it or not. 

Until they give it a necessity and not a novelty CD-I will give other game
companies no competition.

Perhaps they can make a computer platform that can remotely access a TV in the
den through RF signals ( like the vcr Rabbit ).
