Renton 17621 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Sony won't admit it but I get the impression that gaming is Sony's 2nd priority with regards PS3 I reckon that's fair comment. They must have piled millions into the Blu-Ray format with a view to getting one in every home via PS3. Their entire format war strategy is balanced upon it. I hope Blu-ray goes tits up personally.

I hope Blu-ray goes tits up personally. they've just been started claiming that they've won the war as a blu ray disc finally topped the sales chart ahead of a HD-DVD disc. Small details like the HD DVD disc beaten is Batman Begins and its been out since November dont seem to matter at Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 86 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 blu-ray, whilst a great idea is massively overpriced and hyped. the components that go into a blue ray dvd player cost less than $40... also the biggest exponent of change is not you or I, its the porn industry, and they are going hd-dvd. they sell far more dvd's and videos than the normal outlets in the biggest markets in the world.

Region coding is one of the big reason some studios support Blu Ray (especially Fox), the only reason for which is to stop you being able to get the disc cheaper abroad.HD-DVD has no region coding. One of the main reason the porn industry is going with HD-DVD is that Sony wont allow certain content to be put onto Blu Ray. A certain studio that specialises in B horror movies was turned down for a Blu Ray license because it 'wasnt suitable for Blu Ray'. So they not only want to have total control over the price but total control of the content too. If you look at it from a consumer point of you there should be only one winner. Sony are a bunch of cunts tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
