| walsufnir said: I once did a nice rant about Blu-ray. Why are they bad? Interactive Java stuff... I want to see the damn movie, nothing more! "Extras" Yeah, give me the trailer of the movie I just watched in polish! Talking about wasting size... Region locks! Can't believe they are still doing this... But to add to the region crap, several versions for one movie exist in one region. Why not make one "EU" disc with all languages? No, because they want you to spend more money, if you are German, of course. You find the same movie in France for less money but it only has French, Spanish and English language and subtitle. Really, Blu-Ray is so bad, in my opinion... Yes, picture quality is unrivaled currently, but this is just a matter of time. |
Yeah the DRM is a real buzz kill, it got to the point where having to deal with HDCP, Cineva and all that other crap resulted in me eventually throwing the Blu-ray player into the bin, didn't help I couldn't play newer Blu-ray titles as there were no firmware updates for my player that supported the newer DRM schemes.
So... I built a HTPC, use AnyDVD HD to circumvent the never-ending advertising, DRM and other garbage and it's been completely trouble free, drop the disc in, movie starts playing instantly.
And thanks to the Graphics processor, it improves the image quality too.
Ultimatly, I would love to see someone do what iTunes did for music and Steam did for gaming but for movies instead, even if the download is 50Gb per movie, it would be worth it.
