I know very little about blu ray, and definitely don't have the home cinema setup to make the most of them, but I'm interested nonetheless: what can the current consoles not do that a dedicated, fully-featured player can?

This is the first I'd heard about them being limited.

The vegan milk part is so specific but so true!

It's very British, and so the humour's not to everyone's taste, but I used to listen to The Crate and Crowbar religiously.

They're a bunch of current/former games journalists/devs. It started out of the old PC Gamer UK podcast way back (that got cancelled and they created their own)

I think they're still going, although I've stopped listening as I no longer have time (I used to commute by train which was perfect for podcasts)

Ah, that's why it felt "wrong". I thought it just had some really weird style choices, and that it felt like a Xiaomi skin or something. But it's probably that it has sped the iOS style (I've not used an iPhone in many years)

I think the last sentence here is the killer for the opposing argument, really.

Personally (not knowing enough about economics and public borrowing), my common-sense view is "if it can make money for the private investors, why can't it make money for the government with their low borrowing costs?" People throw around a lot of counter arguments that have varying degrees of merit, but no arguments I've seen against public ownership deal with the "private ownership has demonstrably failed for the last 30 years" argument. Doesn't matter what your political/economic/social viewpoint is, that's just fact at this point
