AppleTV vs Blu-ray

[LynxFX]

I hate this argument with a passion:

It’s also worth noting that the Blu-Ray Disc’s biggest video and audio advantages are real, but will be lost on many HDTV users. Since the majority of HDTVs sold before 2007 were not capable of displaying true 1080p output

Yes, because not everyone can take full advantage of it we shouldn't care about it. Let's see, nearly every single dvd owner in the early days and still a vast majority of them now can't even take advantage of anamorphic DVD's but we faught hard to make sure that it became the standard because sooner or later those owners will upgrade their tv and they'll wonder why their non anomorphic discs look funny on their new tv's. Same situation here, 1080p is the future and it actually got here much faster than I ever thought. Producing content for 720p owners is extremely shortsighted but I expect nothing less from Apple.
