That's not expensive but nowhere near the $45 DVD players in 2005 and the $30 DVD players in 2006. 2) And an HDD or solid state storage for at least 1 GB. And network connectivity. And a secondary audio decoder and a secondary video decoder. And enough CPU to manage those 4 streams in parallel. Plus do you grasp how much more complicated (and bug prone) is a full Java VM vs the DVD script interpreter? I'm not saying that they won't come down in price, only that they won't be as dirt cheap as a DVD player for a while, and that a console will naturally excel at being such a device. |
1. That's a red herring. WTH does your previous assertion have to do the potential quality of these upcoming $99 BD players? I proved you wrong. That's all to it. Suck it up.
2. All BDs don't have network connectivity, so that fails. I already mention the "CPU". That's what SoC is (System on a Chip). What 4 streams are you talking about? I mentioned the BD Java before as well. I guess this is your way of agreeing with my response to your earlier 2nd point.
