Forget DVD, watch Blu-ray movies in your car [Panasonic]

Physical media formats sadly aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.  With the crowning of an HD format champ, Blue-ray, it appears as if physical media isn’t going to go down without a fight.  For the time being, pass the time in your car, watching a movie – a Blu-ray movie.  Panasonic is bringing the worlds first next-gen now current gen physical format, as well pleasing digital only folks by way of  two new head units, the CN-HX3000D Windows-powered unit, and the CY-BB1000D in-car Blu-ray player.  The CN-HX3000D (pictured above) eschews the physical media, instead, opting for a built-in 40GB hard drive and 7-inch, 1280 x 720 display.  GPS, Bluetooth, and iPod/iPhone compatibility are also thrown into the mix.  For those of you who are in fact sticking with the whole physical media thing for now, the CY-BB1000D may be more to your liking.  The big draw to the CY model is the added Blu-ray functionality.  (Sorry, no BD-Live support).  So there you have it.  Both physical and digital car/tech aficionados are getting some love from Panasonic.  How beneficial is a Blu-ray player on a 7-inch 1280 x 720 display?  That is for you and your wallet to decide.
