Not only are Blu-ray players still too expensive for most people to have in their home – although the PS3 is heading in the right direction – Panasonic has been showing off the first in-car Blu-ray player.

Just what the point is of a Blu-ray player hooked up to a tiny 7in, non-HD screen is beyond me but the Tokyo Motor Show is all about making headlines, not sense.

The drive in this photo above [ugly, I know] was hooked up to a 7in display via HDMI for a demo and it supports all of the key Blu-ray technologies, like BD-Java. There’s no price, nor date for this but since high-def players aren’t even mainstream here in the living room, don’t expect to see it in a car over here any time soon.-Martin Lynch
