Ruibing,
The biggest flaw is that Agente47 made up such a ridiculous title.
But to entertain your comment... playstation3themes.com is almost certainly not an accurate representation of the overall PS3 community. These results are not generalizable in the form of Agente47's title; the sample size means very little.
It would be helpful if next time you just linked to the the original source.
I don't necessarily agree with Zhuk's sentiments, but I do think it fair that he be able to state an opinion as an opinion.
If you want to see the opposite, where opinion (if even that) is stated as fact, look no further than demoltitionx's post.
Marinelife,
At the very least, it's probably best that he included 'I think.'
So many people state their opinions as fact, yet Zhuk stated an opinion - disguised in no way as fact. There's no reason to criticize that.
In response to your earlier post (5.0):
The PS3 didn't meet these requirements originally. Rather, the processor allows gives it the ability to be updated to newer requirements - a freedom that stand-alones don't have.
Awesome post!!
As far as I'm aware, Spielberg has said nothing about which HD format he wants his films on.
Have you thought about developing arguments, rather than just cramming everything you can think of into a post?
Well, being such an informed Bluray supporter, I'm surprised that you didn't know this: Pirates 2 is already out on Bluray.
Thorough reading is too inconvenient. In all seriousness, I certainly appreciate the post. I added your original comment to a post on charlieoscardelta's forum. Hopefully it gets some attention.
Go over to avsforum. People that have truly invested themselves into Bluray & HD-DVD movies are over there, and quite a few are purchasing imports.
jackdoe, this really isn’t directed at you, instead a general statement:
This is a small market, but if you’ve bought more than one high definition film and you didn’t know about the option to import, well, you’re living in a box.
Let me preface this with: I own a 360 & not a PS3.
Anyway, this is no loss to Sony fans. In my opinion, Gran Turismo is the only auto game series worth buying. PGR is disappointing and Forza has put forth a good effort, but still isn't in GT's class.
I bet it got RROD on the first start-up. I kid, I kid, this certainly is a great story.
But this author at PC World is a twit. I can't believe that someone in her position wouldn't understand that competition is good the technology and the consumer. You can buy a BR player & a HD-DVD player now for the price of what either cost not even 2 yrs ago. Both companies are putting out great products for rapidly dropping prices. And somehow this is bad?
My understanding is that Sony doesn't place as many requirements on outside companies regarding the capabilities of players, making Blu-Ray a more attractive choice. Take this for what you want.
Denon has already said that it has plans to release an HD-DVD player too.
Sony is Blu-Ray, so I don't know what their menioning contributes.
"let's wait and see."
I couldn't agree with this more.
Their willingness to make money off of xbox live really doesn't say anything regarding their stance on HD-DVD (toshiba) vs. Blu-Ray (sony).
HD-DVD's lasting ability has been due to its lower price-point. Additionally, all of these studios making headlines are shifting from neutral stances, so it's not as if HD-DVD only had one studio backing it.
We have yet to see what truth there is in the original article from LA Times (which is still publishing un-confirmed claims as fact regarding a $150 mil contribution to Paramount & DreamWorks).
Regarding, FMJ, you can already buy it, but there seem to be mixed reviews on how good of a transfer it was to the HD formats. If I recall correctly, this re-release is meant in-part as a response to complaints about the previous run.
It's more an issue of studio decision (rather than Sony vs. Toshiba) on what to release. Besides, the Kubrick films are coming out in both HD formats.
Too bad your parents didn't teach you how to spell.
I'd love for you to explain to me what a duel format player is.
