I would just like to point out that Jim Louderback over at Gearlog has now posted sort of a retraction on their original posting and follow-on update, regarding Sony supposedly faking the playback of Blu-Ray during their 10 year annivarsary party; where they showed off the new AR and UX VAIOs. This time stating, what to some was the obvious, that their on the scene reporter, Lance Ulanoff, did not fully disclose or bother to double check the facts regarding the demo that was being displayed and only decided to throw up a photo of the AR that had a DVD-R in the drive. As with any reporting, just providing limited information can potentially open up a huge can of worms and lead any number of readers to believe and speculate about what actually occured.

I do not want to dwell on this story too much as I think once the VAIO AR is in consumers hands, it will all be a mute point.  The real determining factor will be when we have all had a chance to see with our own eyes the quality of the video we get when using Blu-Ray.

From now on, what I would to do is end each post with a question to any readers out there, as I am curious about what excites everyone else; rather than me just going on about what I like.
Question: Is the Blu-Ray drive going to be more appealing because of its ability to playback HD movies in stunny quality or because you will potentially be able to store up to 50GBs of data/video/photos/music on a disc.
