It's Apple's fault!

Posted by 4season on May 20, 2008 at 11:48:54:
Apple TV works really well as an entertainment hub, and most of the time, if I have a choice between going out and renting or purchasing physical media or renting it from Apple, I will do the later. This is generally true of high definition movies as well, and in fact, Apple seems to offer high def movies not yet available in Blu-Ray.

Other factors adversely affecting my Blu-Ray purchasing:

It's summer! Who wants to sit indoors and watch TV?

Not too many must-have movies have been issued since last holiday season, either. Yes, there's the Criterion Collection B-Ds, but those won't arrive until October.

Too many other things vying for my disposable income: New iPhone should be announced in June at WWDC, there's Photokina in Sept (along with the promise of a new Leica DSLR) and meanwhile PC notebook prices have fallen to amazing new lows--under $330. Also wondering if I should buy a Sigma DP-1 pocket camera, Wadia's new iPod dock, a Nuforce Icon USB amp for the iMac sound system, etc.
