And then there's the Blu-ray question. There are only a few hundred titles available, few of which seem to be of much interest to me. Based on that, I figure I'm in no hurry to buy a Blu-ray player box, particularly if somebody like Apple has something clever up their sleeve as the cost of a hypothetical next-gen Mac mini with a Blu-ray drive is comparable to the price of a higher-end dedicated Blu-ray player. Thoughts?
There's a chance I'll buy a bluray player eventually, but frankly I don't think the format will ever be nearly as big as DVD. I look at how Apple is doing digital distribution of movies and tend to see that as being the future. I've used their system and Netflix's streaming service (on an HTPC), and I have to say I'm hooked. Audio and video quality are slight concerns there, but IMO, the only issue with this technology is the poor selection currently available, and I think that will change (especially for Apple).
