Or I can hook a pc to my tv like I did last month. Ta-da. Seriously, this is a good idea, if executed correctly. I like the pc b/c i can play Bluray, DVD, Youtube and Netflix streaming on the same device. And there's only one device. If you combined those into once device, that would be cool. Some Bluray players are getting there. However, I like the ability to hack and play. I can install my own codes, etc.

Seriously, the PS3 is there already, but it's Sony, so obviously they didn't execute the software capabilities. But just the bluray capabilities of the PS3 show me that they are very close despite themselves. The Netflix streaming bluray disc that works on many network-connected bluray players is a perfect example, and a beauty to use. It's a huge hassle to have to actually find and insert a physical disc to use the thing, and it would be several orders of magnitude better if the Netflix streaming bluray java app could be installed to the hard drive, along with a bunch of others, but the capability is nearly perfect. I could see a Youtube bluray disc being pretty popular as well. If bluray players could store those network-streaming based apps locally, it would be game over for FlashTV (aka Open Screen) and GoogleTV. Hell, Google could probably implement the real meat of GoogleTV as a bluray disc.
