Blu Ray brings my piss to a boil. Firstly its expensive and second you need a HDTV to actually benfit from the improved picture quality. What a load of ass suckage. People without HDTV's should get the pic quality or no-one should.

@Zlejedi, I actually do have serious sight problems

@konnichiwa, yes i am, wtf were ronaldo rooney et al doing

Blu Ray is the preserve of rich people and I detest rich people. As far as I am concerned if you can afford Blu Ray you have too much money. You should be forced to give some to poor people.

If there was no BR or prospects for HD programming, then why are people buying those expensive HDTVs in the first place? Many poor (rich?) bastards bought an  HDTV and expected to watch everything in high definition with no more purchses. BR is one way to make use of those expensive HDTVs everyone keep buying, otherwise everyone should stick with SDTV until companies start doing free SD-to-HD exchanges and poor people have HDTVs as well.

If you detest rich people you should move to Norway or Sweden or something where the high rate of income tax is more than 60% and the unemployment benefits are probably higher than the minimum wages of many developed countries. Talk about income redistribution.....
