Next-gen Blu-ray "mindblowing" says Gosling
,----[ Quote ]
| Blu-ray Profile 2 increases the amount of local storage that must be provided
| by a player (flash memory is now so cheap that this is unlikely to make much
| difference to the price of Blu-ray hardware) and also mandates the provision
| of Internet connectivity.
|
| This will result in "all kinds of really interesting Blu-ray applications
| that use the network," Gosling told iTWire, such as first-person shooter
| games, shopping, and community subtitling.
