I'm buying this even though I've no way to play blurays.

Skrebbel! No worries, that's why there's a DVD in the pack as well. The DVD doesn't have the special features, but the main 3.5 hours of demos are there plus commentary and subtitles.

Blu-ray penetration is only 15% (in the USA, not sure about the rest of the world) so we didn't want to leave anyone behind. In five years when blu-ray players cost as much as a nice meal, you'll be set :)

I've seen $35 blu ray players and (based on DVD), don't expect blu ray to stay below $25 for long.
