You guys need to stop with the misinformation.
A couple corrections:
BD-Live is online content, so it is not found on a BD taking up space. Other extras are actually on the discs, taking up space. However, most movie enthusiasts have been very pleased that many extras (deleted scenes, documentaries, etc) have been stored in HD resolution, whereas DVDs were often plagued with lower resolution extras than the feature film itself. We dont care about it taking extra space, quality is more important, that is why BD was made with 50GB as more or less the planned normal size. If the movie is too long for both, they have traditionally added discs.
HD cameras are not necessary for high quality 1080 resolution video. Film is much higher resolution than 1080, so any movie shot on 35mm or larger film can look spectacular, depending on what shape the master is in when they create a digital master. Noted examples of great picture on BD are films like Casablanca that certainly predate any HD cameras. And I do not recall hearing of ANY movies that were SD upconverts on BD. (BTW, QoS was not shot on HD video, either) Although, I just saw that the show Scrubs is on BD. That was filmed on 16mm, which would barely be enough to match HD video. And thats why it was never broadcast in HD in the first place. (except for one episode, once) But film is not SD, even 16mm.

TV. I think Apple was stuck in the "iPod for your TV" mentality that they missed where the HTPC was going. In my opinion, and one that I'm sure many others share, a Mini, even though more expensive, is a much better buy than an
