I am sure some of you will know this already but I will post it here however :)
Last night Apple seeded BETA 4 of iPhone OS 3.0 along with it came iTunes 8.2 pre-release. This is needed to install the BETA 4, however under the about bit now, iTunes 8.2 says blu-ray :), so I guess here comes blu-ray support too iTunes and Macs :D:

Just a shame BD drives are so expensive,.
I don't really have a comment towards this.
But its nice to see they are finally supporting this stuff.
Well if you don't have a comment then don't post, but evidently you did, so you just contradicted yourself in the post kinda. :PQuote:

This is good for blu ray. Some analysts were suspecting blu ray will be a dead format soon and just a fad, but with the likes of Sony, and now Apple pushing it, it gives it that longer life expectancy I guess. Good move for Apple, bloody took their time doing it.
my iphone isnt telling me i have OS 3.0 to download yet? :S

Blu-ray won't be just a fad.Quote:

It won't be the next DVD either, although it'll render DVD useless in about 3-4 years time, because of the advantages of digital delivery it'll never be what DVD was. Not only will it be constantly threatened by digital delivery, it won't be long till there's disks capable of 250GBs etc.Quote:

Bluray wont be the next DVD because DVDs quality was significantly higher than VHS which Bluray isnt (I have a Bluray player). One of the upsides of DVD over VHS was you could use a DVD in a pc too whereas you couldnt use a VHS in a PC but with Bluray you can already use a DVD in a pc. Also I think by the time PC games need Bluray disks there will be a larger alternative out there.Quote:

I don't know much about Apple's HD film thing online but I guess it's pretty much the same.Quote:
