Blu-ray Forum - View Single Post - Another article raining on the download parade

Downloads won't replace media but this article seems flawed. To pick on two points:

1) "For True High-Def Movies, You Need Discs"
The last I checked 720p and 1080i were true high-def. It's nit-picking but they should have worded it 'a better high-def experience' or something like that.

2) "But I rent DVDs from Netflix--and Netflix won't charge you a dime extra to send Blu-ray versions."
Right now Netflix does not charge extra for HDM rentals but they are considering it. That really should have said 'currently, netflix does not charge extra for blu-ray versions.' Then linked the article stating they are considering it.
