How long will it be before you can pick up a decent bluray player for ?40?
They seem to be hovering around ?160 at the mo. I'm guessing a year?
I do DVD rental and I could be watching bluray versions.
Off topic:
Had a go on one at the weekend (my parents'.... you know you are slipping when they've got tech you haven't) and whilst pic was great, the amount of time it took to do anything useful like play the movie was annoying. Firstly it took ages to boot up. Then there was the unskippable "you dirty pirate! (hang on, you've bought this haven't you?)" messages (skippable on my XBMC on DVD) and then the short publisher movies and then the most amazing swirling intro to the menu where it showed me half the film with spoilers. And then finally the menu. And then when the film started I got to watch the same publisher movies again. And then the film lol. I know the same stuff happens on DVD, but this seemed worse. Like "we've got all this storage... .let's use it!!!"
