DRM aside, BR is about higher resolution video at higher quality. It's also about higher quality audio, although this seems to me much less needed.

(And there's the 25GB for -R discs. But that's not the focus of the article.)

iTunes also use DRM as well

Agree. In many countries (e.g. Australia) which internet is charged in usage bases, it will bring u another cost if u download or stream such video contents in large size. Sometimes it may even more costly than a physical media + HD player.

Also that fucking DRM making u have to backup everything, cost u money on storage solution.

In the end, physical media like CD/DVD/BD usually have 2nd hand value, while those DRM do not!

Not, but it was also superior in convenience as well as image and audio quality. Joe Sixpack won't feel the difference is as dramatic this time around. The best way is for Blu-ray to just be THE player available on shelves and THE ROM drive. Sorta like how when you buy a writer for your computer, you just buy the DVD writer, not get faced with a decision to buy a CD writer or a DVD writer.

>>won't feel the difference is as dramatic this time around.

Becox ur TV is fucking bad only.
DVD quality is unacceptable when shown in big screen even with upscaler, not cheapie PC!

I think u are better to phone up to the clinic to arange for a detail eye and ear check up!
