LOL... that really highlights how pointless this thing is. Spend roughly 13% more and you have a laptop that not only plays BDs on a bigger, higher resolution screen, it also has all the utility of a laptop.]]>Jun 1st 2009 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/

on a screen that size i doubt your going to see the difference in quality, plus if its to keep the kids quiet there not going to car if its HD or not. and for the price of this you can get a pmp or portable dvd even, with enough media for a trip round the world!!!!]]>Jun 1st 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/
You're right that it would be pretty stupid to buy this thing as your first Blu-ray player and then start buying Blu-ray movies just to watch on this screen exclusively, but I think the idea here is that we've all got Blu-ray collections at home that aren't exactly portable yet.]]>Jun 1st 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/I'd stick with standard dvd for that one. ]]>Jun 1st 2009 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/

That's just pure waste of 50GB and 1080p video.


Why don't they just put the blueray right on 46" or 50" screen.... not so portable is it?]]>Jun 1st 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/

That said,
1- I believe you can definitely see the difference if the screen is good quality, not this interlaced flickering garbage they sell with portable DVD players.
2- I don't believe blu-ray is gonna be "the new DVD" in the way that DVD was "the new VHS". The way we consume media has changed dramatically.]]>Jun 1st 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/panasonics-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ray-player-800-ships-this-mo/Jun 1st 2009 7:15PM
