I´m waiting until febuary just in case the guys at apple finally update to blu ray for the new MAc Pros. Seen and heard lots rumors. Anyone got any clues?

i'd imagine a blu ray drive would make the already high price of a mac pro ridiculously higher, considering that sony is taking a massive loss just to keep up with production of the ps3. it's not clear if blu ray will even survive the format wars, and looking at sony's record with failed formats, it's a gamble.

I haven't heard anything, but I would put my money on them NOT integrating a BluRay drive any time soon.

(Jan 15 07, 11:18)I would consider the resounding tone of "BluRay is dead" to be a valid response to your question. If I think BluRay is a dead-end tech, then why would I anticipate Apple putting it in their computers? Connect the dots, buddy. Geez.

i saw rocky on blu-ray the other day at a friend's place, and it fucking blew my mind.
though, if i didn't have a HDTV / nice audio-setup, i wouldn't even consider it a format.

rocky on regular dvd is amazing. I can't see spending $1G on a blu ray player so I can watch movies from the 70's.

(Jan 15 07, 08:04)i was just at ces, and the rumor was that, although the lg player can play video from both blu-ray and hd-dvd, you cn't access the menu system on hd-dvd discs, so this player isn't really a viable sollution...
- mrdobolina0
the real test would be a hybrid hd-dvd/blu-ray burner. Otherwise the porn industry will call it hd-dvd.

the ability to put 40 xvid dvd-rips on one disc is a crazy concept though. Although not HD, that is a lot of f-ing movies.

By the time they figure out which format to use, all HD will be avail for download like music.

I hope you are right. "a friend of mine" started downloading xvid dvd-rip movies in november and now has over 150 full length movies.

yeah, bandwidth is the only real peoblem (besides licensing) and that is being solved through fiber-optics or whateverthe hell soon enough. But yeah, I know some peeps that enjoy downloading full, high-quality movies and burning them with dvd quality

I got a rip of the borat movie that you would swear was the dvd. I burned it and watched it on a 42 inch 16x9 hd lcd last week and it was excellent. the sound wasn't 7.1 in the surround sound but who cares about borat in 7.1?
