Anyway, as I said in the EngadgetHD version of this article...

In general I agree with you; however, if someone is going on a long road trip and has the BR version of a movie, do you expect them to go out and buy the regular DVD just for the trip? What if the movie is in moratorium on regular DVD? So, I can see some instances where this might come in handy.]]>Oct 26th 2007 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/
or one could get real crafty and add a PS3 and use this BR drive instead of the PS3's.]]>Oct 26th 2007 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/
That show is so dumb. It would be so much better if they put useful things on the INSIDE of the car...]]>Oct 26th 2007 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/
As for the color change for all you can tell in the photo it could be different calibrations]]>Oct 26th 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/
Hell I'd take one without a screen even, I burn alot of MP3 CDs, I could fit a TON of MP3s on a Blu-Ray disc. Probably way too expensive for me though.]]>Oct 26th 2007 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 29th 2007 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 26th 2007 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/
FYI a majority of customers that buy in car video systems are not the hardcore customizers but are families who want to keep their kids entertained for car trips. A few Disney movies can make the difference between a great cruise with the family or a miserable drive to grandmas house.

I also want to say that though current in car displays (7"-26" avg.)may not be of a quality level to discern major differences between DVD and a HD signal, as they get better you will be able to tell a difference. I see the time of this change coming about once analog TV goes off line in the next two years. ]]>Oct 26th 2007 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/
But BluRay specs also happens to support 11 hours of standard def video on a single layer disc. Imagine burning in plenty of episodes of kids video onto a single BD disc. You never have to change the bloody disc.]]>Oct 26th 2007 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/26/panasonic-showcases-in-dash-blu-ray-head-unit/Oct 27th 2007 5:24PM
