Just what I need...

...another device that does more than it needs to.

Getting really tired of this trend.

Still wearing wooden shoes are we?

You may not think that these capabilities are important now, but odds are someone will think of a feature that you'll wonder how you lived without it. As long as the extras do not detract from what a player is supposed to do, then fine. If they make the movie watching experiance better, then great!

Just in case you missed it, the #1 selling Blu-Ray player (PS3) does a lot more than just play Blu-Ray.

BD-J Authoring White Paper

There is a white paper on this, using the Sun open source project and the IDE Eclipse. (http://dostudio.netblender.com/wikipapers/hdcookbookwitheclipse.asp) I'm excited for Blu-Ray Java I think this time next year we'll see some cool stuff. Maybe some it will by me!!

PS3 you have it the wrong way

The PS3 is not a Blue-Ray player uit is a game console to wich Sony included a Blue-Ray player (most likely because the supported the format and wnated to boost sales figures)

And what did I read Network access, Java ? not another device prone to virus attacks ????
