Kevin Smith confesses that he's been a convert ever since Paramount gave him a Panasonic 103in plasma and Blu-ray player as a gift.  read more »

Blu-Ray is a fab format but the problem is for the everyday man on the street it still looks like a DVD and seems to pricey. Maybe next year once prices fall it will start to take off in the mainstream.

Wish someone would give me a 103" plasma as a gift. I'd stump up for the BR player if they did. Though I already have PS3 and a 52" 720p TV I don't have much inclination to buy lots of BR discs. In fact the only one I own is the James Bond one that came free with the PS3.
