Blu-Ray IS digital. If you're talking about downloadable media, then you're cheerleading for even shittier quality than what Blu-Ray provides.

I suspect Apple won't get on board with Blu-Ray until they can be sure there is a bulletproof software solution. Instead of the 12 car pileup there is now on the PC side of things. ]]>Aug 10th 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/Aug 10th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/Aug 10th 2009 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/Aug 10th 2009 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/Aug 10th 2009 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/Aug 10th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/
And to those who think some how Digital Downloads for 1080p/24 content makes Blu-Ray somehow less relevant consider that as of now quality online video cannot be delivered to everyone across the world yet since internet speeds and accessibility coupled with the wide variances between the speed of peoples PCs will not allow for it.

It will take years for 1080p/24 w/ dolby or dts 5.1 or better to be a viable option outside of pockets of high population areas that have the network infrastructure to support it. You cannot say that a 6 gig Blu-Ray rip is the same thing. Even if a movie is not 50Gb of content on a disc a re-encoded copy is not what content providers are able to offer.

They give 720x480p or at best 1440x1080p and it is only in stereo and in much lower bit-rate than a Blu-Ray. It might look good but the technology has to be as good or better than what someone could get on Blu-Ray for it to be considered a replacement, otherwise digital downloads will be a alternative to blu-ray to those people for whom it is good enough and do have enough bandwidth to access it.]]>Aug 10th 2009 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/10/toshiba-applies-for-bda-admission-blu-ray-players-and-laptops-c/Aug 10th 2009 12:07PM
