Blu-rays are great but packaging is ugly!!

[oetty]

The post was not just meant as a joke.

For me, the "woman" equals the whole package, not just the disc. All discs look practically the same, don't they?

The intellectual substance - as you put it - equals the content of the disc.

And besides, there's also a big difference if a gorgeous girl is all dressed up or just wearing some shabby secondhand clothes...

Let's face it, a lot of DVDs (and Blu Rays) are bought just because of the package. That's why HD-DVD had a clear disadvantage from the beginning.

Fashion and Design is important, even in the home entertainment industry...

The metaphor broken down into peices and elaborated on:

The content on the Blu(the actual film)=Intellectual substance, or as you put it "stupidity"

So this is what I gather from your response. You would be interested in an ugly dumb girl if she dressed nice? Please correct me if I misinterpereted that.

And to clear up your incorrect assumption that you made in the beginning of this post. Yes I would initially be attracted to a woman based upon her phyisical beauty, not her clothing. But that's just a natural human reaction. How many people pass by a brand new Ferrari with out blinking an eye just to have their jaw drop to the floor when an '81 Honda comes around the corner? Anyways, once I meet said beautiful woman she better have something going on upstairs or I'll quickly lose interest no matter how pretty she is.

That being said, I would not pass on a 1080p Blu-ray because I did not like the package and I also wouldn't by a crappy film just because it is in 1080p.
Any questions?

And by the way, I think the Blu-ray cases are rather good looking IMHO.
