"I proved you wrong. That's all to it. Suck it up."
Cool down, please, you're sounding like a teenager on E. And a rude one, at that.
And read again my last post and maybe the whole conversation with the local Squilliam. This was about the question "will being a great BR player have a definite value in next gen consoles, or will it be a cheap feature of limited practical value?"
1) bad BR players in a year time from now won't be as cheap as bad DVD players were in 2005, nor will have as much mass-market penetration.
2) Network connectivity is mandatory as for the full specs of BluRay Live, and frankly even if you were to say that you won't use it, it will be invaluable for updating that Java interpreter or the stream processing software. The 4 streams are 2 videos, 2 audio streams that must be processed in parallel as per specs to allow PiP and other features. Did you also gloss about the 1GB of storage and the virtualized filsystem that again is per spec?
