If Blu-ray represents the latest technology, is already out of date? Of course most (all ?) Blu Ray players have the facility to connect to t'internet, so they can be upgraded, crippled at will, etc. If discs with enough capacity to store the data required for a decent length 1080-50p movie or programme can be produced, I suspect most machines could be upgraded to take advantage. However, as others have pointed out, the whole concept of 'media' delivered on discs has a finite life anyway. Out of interest, how does Blu-ray (as sold in shops) compare in terms of quality with UK high definition television?
