Playing the Blus

Posted by on Fri, June 18th, 2010 at 11:00 am

No, TSG didn’t misspell the word Blue. I’m talking about Blu-Ray, the technology that brings us sharp, crystal clear high definition DVD yumminess.

Don’t have Blu-Ray DVDs? Don’t worry; standard definition DVDs work just fine in Blu-Ray players (in fact, the machine squeezes every bit of quality out of that disc through a process called “up conversion”.
Finally, the player connects to the internet, so you can get the weather and watch YouTube videos – like this one:
