With millions of PS3′s in homes, Netflix and Blockbuster support, Blu-ray is attractive. Apple should think a bit about content creators who need to deliver Blu-ray and are moving to Windows and /or Adobe Encore. Many of them may be thinking why use any Apple products soon. I support many of these video pros that are in this position. All it would take is a Blu-ray option on the Mac Pro and DVD Studio Pro supporting Blu-ray!

For many consumers these formats, including Blu-ray, are fighting the battle of diminishing returns. I’m satisfied with dvd movies on my big tv, totally. I’m getting old I suppose, but I’m not craving anything beyond dvd quality – not even a little.
For less than the price of a Blu-ray player I have a dvd recorder.
I’d only be interested in Blu-ray in terms of burning data from a computer. Even then I’m not that interested. I tend to back up on sata drives, not optical disks.
