What I don't understand is that HD really won't look that different on 10" of real-estate. From the above shots, I do notice a difference in color quality, but really? I don't think I would spend the "no price" price tag on that kind of head unit.

*sigh* Why can't articles that are shared between Engadget and EngadgetHD be linked?
Anyway, as I said in the EngadgetHD version of this article...
In general I agree with you; however, if someone is going on a long road trip and has the BR version of a movie, do you expect them to go out and buy the regular DVD just for the trip? What if the movie is in moratorium on regular DVD? So, I can see some instances where this might come in handy.

I'd much rather buy the dvd version for the trip than the BR player for the car.

I'd much rather exercise my well documented fair use rights and format shift my Blu-Ray copy to something that can be watched in the car, whether that is DVD or a digital file.

I feel your pain John B.. I wish these cross weblogs posts could have their comments linked. And I too wouldn't mind a BD player in my car as I plan to buy nothing but BDs now. But I won't be buying something like this til it's much cheaper.

I'd love to have a BR disc chock full of MP3 on my car... I think one 50GB disc could host all of my MP3's and a little bit more, like videos pics and stuff...
or one could get real crafty and add a PS3 and use this BR drive instead of the PS3's.
