ecstasy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 LOL the only reason I have a blu ray player is because of the PS3. If I were an amateur film maker I probably would save my pennies for it. But there is no need in my life for that, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 If I was rich than I would but being a college student there is no place for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Who knows if this technology will really take off. I think this will be like laser disc that only gets a small following. After Blu Ray, streaming is the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 At this point, it's targeted more at professional venues -- theaters, post houses, visual FX studios, etc. But the price is actually low enough for the high-end consumer market.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 How would streaming work? I think downloading would be more popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, iTunes downloads files, but since it allows progressive downloading, you can watch only a few seconds after you buy it, which basically seems like streaming. As bandwidth increases, they're essentially going to become the same. So I was just differentiating a digital file versus an actual disc.

Jim Shorts Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Plenty of time to save, I'd say another 5-7 years before this becomes affordable to the masses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Most consumers don't even need 4K in their home. You reach a point of diminishing returns when you're talking about the average HDTV, which is in the 50 inch neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
