With its 'quartz' design, Sony's new Blu-ray is too good-looking to be hidden under your TV

Ten years ago Sony launched the world’s first consumer Blu-ray machine – which nobody bought. That’s because it cost £3,000, was available only in Japan, and no movies yet existed in Blu-ray form.
It took a while to convince the public that Blu-ray was a format worth investing in. It wasn’t a huge evolutionary leap from DVD, and with a rival, HD DVD, vying for our attention, we were cautious about chucking our money at another Betamax.
Only towards the end of the last decade was Blu-ray finally embraced by the masses, just as many in the tech industry were pronouncing that the format was on its last legs.
In 2013 the doom-mongers have a point; just as digital downloads have vanquished music CDs, the era of owning films on disc is inevitably heading the same way. Which means the next Blu-ray player you buy could be your last, so it may as well be a good one.
Luckily, Sony’s new HD/3D range comes with several features to ease our transition into a world of cloud-based digital streaming. The BDP-S5100 is Wi-Fi enabled for access to Lovefilm, BBC iPlayer, Netflix and Sony’s impressive entertainment library, while the TV SideView app adds a live, social-media dimension to whatever’s on your big screen.
The 'sense of quartz’ design means it’s too good-looking to be hidden under the telly, and it still spins discs, too.

Game of Thrones: 'The Old Gods and the New' recap and review

Something that Game of Thrones does very well is choose its scenes wisely, which is more necessary than ever now that there are so many characters to juggle. We only have a little bit of time with each of them, so it’s imperative that the time we spend with them is as revealing as possible, or moves the plot forward in a significant way. This was especially evident last week, where each storyline moved forward not only dramatically, but interestingly. This week’s installment, ‘The Old Gods and the New,’ was a little more laid-back in its approach, which is odd considering that it featured both the sack of Winterfell by Theon, and a major riot in King’s Landing. These are big events that I guess I felt weren’t treated with the gravitas they deserved. But hey, Tyrion slapped Joffrey again, so there’s that. I’m not saying I didn’t like the episode, because there was plenty that I enjoyed. The opening scene, where Bran wakes to Theon seizing Winterfell had a gr
