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 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.
