 Even if that were true it doesn't take away from how superficial the improvement (step forward) as a whole is for Blu-Ray in comparison to what DVD did in going beyond VHS.

 

?? S-VHS is 560x480. DVD is 720x480. BD is 1920x1080.

HD-DVD/BD is a much bigger jump over DVD then DVD is over S-VHS. The problem is TV's are not at a point where you see it.

That's not a reason to not start the technology now.

That is but one technical aspect and not the point as a whole I was adressing.

Look at the list I made above. The sheer number of improvements DVD offered over VHS warranted the format leap, it wasn't just technically better, it was more convenient and economical.

@ SSJ12

BD-Live and interactive movies are just novetly improvements, luxuries, they're not the leap forward that DVD was to VHS.

CD made a better format

DVD made a better format

Blu-Ray just made a better DVD

 

Just purely out of curiosity, would you feel differently if both the Wii and the PS3 had built-in Blu-ray?
