I'll start off the thread by saying a multi-disc dvd/blu-ray player.

I think there has been ones made, though I've only ever seen it with music cd's on a hifi player.

I've always wondered why there was never a premium product on the market with dvd/blu-ray players, especially with so many boxsets containing multiple discs these days.

If I binge watch a tv show boxset they usually only have 6 episodes per disc, so I have to keep getting up and changing the disc.

As anyone else wanted a device that was either never invented or never came on the market available for you to buy? Or if it did was it too expensive?
Your right, that would be awesome!

For me, it is Google glasses (or equivalent).

The idea of information being put straight in front of your eyes is straight cyberpunk and would be really useful.
The whole using your eyes as cameras thing is also really cool, (legitimate privacy concerns aside).

SED TV (basically CRT on steroids)

Legal battle due to some small US company claiming they did this tech first which caused Toshiba to pull out of partnership with Canon, who went on alone to win it then mothball the tech.

Sony (AFAIR) dropped a similar tech called FED.
