history repeats itself
Hey i didn't watch DVD's on my PC and I don't on watch them on my shiny new imac! BD only makes sense on Large HDTV's. As a storage and recording system BD is clumsy, much easier to use SSD's. Frankly i have no need for BD or DVD on a computer, they are merely sophisticated versions of floppy disks and remember what happened to them!And then there are those who stick their heads in the sand and pick and choose their statistics. I remember VHS fans making the same market share argument against DVD. What they foolishly ignore is growth and the trend. Like global warming chicken littles, they assume the current state is how things always were and how they always should be. They don't see a dynamic world.

When THE hit movie comes out and 20-30% of the sales are on a new format, stand up and take notice, you're being left at the train station by the emos with eyebrow piercings at the Mapple store.
So clean the sand out of your ears. Waaah, my Mac doesn't support something, so therefore it isn't important, waaaah.
Yeah, I'd rather believe some wanker on a Mac forum (many of the Blu-Ray opponents have already been exposed as not even owning HDTVs, of course they wouldn't care, and so much for the whole Mac-buyers-are-affluent fallacy) who has never seen a Blu-Ray disc over The Digital Bits and Videobusiness.com, people who make a living covering the video
industry.
