Blu-ray – now I understand the low adoption rates
So we got a good deal on a 65 inch plasma at hhgregg. They included a Blu-ray player as part of the package. I’d thought to myself that someday when I got a Blu-ray player it’d probably be a PS3, but I guess not. I ran and picked up the BBC’s Planet Earth box set to have some content. I’d seen it on Discovery when it was first released and was amazed. I knew I had to have it in HD someday. We’ve now rented several movies on Blu-ray and my verdict is that it can be quite amazing (like Planet Earth), but mostly not so much. This has to be a big part of the low adoption rate. I’ve got to rent some more to see if I’ve just made bad picks, but so far — I’m not that impressed.
