i definitely have my money on hd-dvd being the surviving high def media. microsoft has WAY more strength than sony does, and they did the best possible thing. they are putting out a separate unit that integrates with the core. genius. sony is forcing all of their customers to invest in blu-ray. what if it fails?
|
Pretty stupid in my opinion.
1.Add on cost more money
2. It wont be used for gaming, but watching movies.
What if Blu Ray fails? Devs will still use it for gaming.

one question: where would we all be right now if sony had decided to release the playstation 2 using the divx format? exactly.
|
divx is not a format, Divx is a compression technology. Also a codec
@Enola Bomber, you should stop downloading movies. Go work and buy the DVD. The industry is declining because of people like you, that enjoy watching a movie but it is not willing to pay for it.

durable and even if you scratch it you can use the standard DVD polishing devices to fix it.

Blu Ray uses a very strong coating protection, it is very (VERY) hard to strach a BR disc.

Jeet, you having been paying attention to the facts as of late my friend. Sony is depending on the PS3s success BECAUSE they arent making mony from their electroinics and movies.

Have you been paying attention?
Sony, as well as MS, is losing money investing in the PS3. They only reason they still on the market is because they make mad movie with their TVs (I used to work at Best Buy, and people go crazy for Sony products) MP3 players, DVD players, etc. They are also making a lot of movie with PS2 sales, which at this point, every PS2 gives sony a 50-60 dollars profit. Oh wait, I also forgot about Sony Pictures (movies coming soon: Casino Royale, Ghost Rider, SPIDERMAN 3,) and movies alredy in theaters like The Da Vinci Code, Monster House, and Silent Hill.
I wish all companies win, we all win that way
