| WereKitten said: Some of you guys downtalking BR at all costs seem to live in their own small bubble, or to be in utter denial. 1) streaming content is nice and everything. But when will everyone who want to see a movie have a steadily reliable 30-40 Mps connection (that's the bandwidth of a BR during playback)? And you have to have this connection _wherever_ and anytime you want to see the content. Want to see a movie while commuting on a portable reader? Want to entertain kids with their favourite Pixar movie during a car travel? Want to bring a few movies at a friend's in the middle of nowhere? Is streaming the answer in these cases? I think you need a physical digital medium. |
The average Blu-Ray drive can transfer data off the disk at a rate of 4-6MB/s (36-48Mb/s). I assume you were meaning megabits and not bytes. Just thought I'd clarify.
