BluRay (or HDDVD) becomes interesting as soon as there is a player that
can play burned content. If i could reauthor from DVDs and make a
15GB DVD then I would be interested... not at the $1000 price point,
but interested. Additionally, if there's a DivX player that reads
Bluray media, again, more interested. And if it reads h.264....
